The Debmarine Namibia Cup eliminator rounds that started yesterday promise some tantalising clashes around the country this weekend, with clubs raring to advance to the next stage of the competition.

The country's biggest cup competition pits local clubs against each other as they climb the ladder to the summit of the competition.

The elimination rounds involve the first and second division teams in the country.

The matches kicked off yesterday and are expected to end on 11 March.

The first and second clubs are battling it out for places in the competition's round of 32.

The official cup launch and draw for the Round of 32 will take place in Windhoek on 15 March.

The round of 32 will see regional second division and zone first division teams competing with Namibia Premier League sides.

Last year, the final took place at Gobabis, where Young Africans were crowned champions and bagged the N$500 000 top prize.

Individual efforts were also recognised and Itamunua Keimuine of Tura Magic was awarded N$20 000 for being the top goal scorer award

Young African's Himeezembi Hengombe was voted player of the tournament and was rewarded with N$20 000.

Young African coach Maleagi Ngarizemo was crowned coach of the tournament and was handsomely rewarded with N$15 000, while Young African goalkeeper Mbemutjiua Mata won the golden gloves award and was given N$15 000. I

In late 2016 Debmarine Namibia CEO Otto Shikongo announced the company's commitment to football in Namibia, via a N$14.1 million sponsorship over a three-year period (2017 to 2019).
