Namibia plans to create better places for sports fans across the country. The national government will build seven new stadiums starting this year. President Nandi-Ndaitwah talked about these plans during her first address to parliament. Each stadium will hold thirty thousand people watching games. These facilities must meet standards set by African football officials.
The president spoke Thursday about how important sports have become for her administration. She wants young people to have good places to play games. The stadiums will appear in different parts of Namibia for everyone to use. Some existing buildings need repairs before teams can play there. Workers will fix old problems during the same project period.
Money for these places comes from the current budget already approved—leaders hope that better sports areas help athletes perform at higher levels. Local teams might host international games after construction finishes. The president sees sports as part of her plan for the nation. Building starts soon with crews breaking ground at several locations.
