Ndumba’s game plan for women’s football

Newly-appointed Namibia Football Association executive council member Lydia ‘Annetjie’ Ndumba aims to establish sustainable grassroots development and increase woman leadership in Namibian football.

Her appointment to the Namibia Football Association (NFA) executive council follows the vacancy left by the late Michael Situnde.

Ndumba holds full voting rights and all official responsibilities of the office.

She says empowering women’s football through grassroots participation in elite competitions is her priority.

“This includes increasing access to football for girls, strengthening regional leagues, developing coaches and referees, and ensuring every region has structured competitions and development programmes.”
