Joseph Hailombe, an Executive Council member of the Namibia Football Association (NFA), has applauded FIFA for its commitment to grassroots football, describing the inaugural U-15 World Cup & Festival as a valuable initiative for nurturing young talent.
Hailombe thanked FIFA for the invitation to the competition, which brought together young players from around the world in Baku, and highlighted the Namibian players’ eagerness to compete and challenge themselves.
He said initiatives like this let young players test their abilities against players from other regions and continents, boost morale and confidence, and help them grow both on and off the pitch.
