Two new clubs join Namibia Premier Football League
Onambula United and KK United will compete against 14 established teams in the 16-club league.
The 2026/2027 Namport Namibia Premier Football League season kicks off with two new clubs, Onambula United and KK United, entering the 16-team competition. These newcomers face established football heavyweights, aiming to prove their place among Namibia's elite teams.
Onambula United's head coach Festus Paulus described their promotion as a significant milestone, crediting the players, technical team, management, and local community. He believes top-flight status will bring national exposure and potential sponsorship, while KK United will host Millennium Julinho in their opening match.
Coach Paulus's immediate priority for Onambula United is securing top-flight survival and avoiding relegation. The club is struggling with financial difficulties, raising questions about its ability to sustain participation at the highest level without adequate resources and administrative structures.
