The fourth season of the HopSol Youth Football League kicked off last Friday at Sport Klub Windhoek with teams scoring exceptional goals over two days of football.

The youth league is a professionally organised youth development football programme in Namibia which strives to uplift and better communities and individuals.

Since its inception in 2017, the programme has focused on developing young football players in sport, academics and social/community areas.

Speaking during the opening ceremony, one of the founding members and the programme's manager Collin Benjamin called on young footballers to be committed to the game while doing well academically.

“This is our fourth season and this year we are going to select a HopSol best and the selected players will travel to South Africa for friendly games against academies that side who we are currently busy engaging for such a tour. I therefore call on all of you to give it your best when you step onto the field of play while representing your school or academy,” he said.

Chairman of HopSol, Robert Hopperdietzel, expressed his happiness with how the league has grown and called on organisers to continue doing the good job they have done in the past three years.

Apart from the sponsorship received from HopSol Solar Power, this year the league also roped in Pupkewitz Megabuild as well as Dulux as co-sponsors of the youth league.- NAMPA
