The Namibia premier league is the main domestic league,second league is the first division and lastly is the regional second division. However the Namibia football team has never qualified for the FIFA world cup,but has twice been runner up in the COSAFA cup.Although Namibia has leagues for both men and women,that allow them to showcase their talent, premier coaches have stated that there is still so much talent in the nation that has not yet been discovered, because league games are only held in few towns,so many talented players in those town that are left out  and they never get the opportunities to showcase their talent. I was able to interview some premier league players and ask them how the Namibia Association can improve their decision making. Their response was that they should ensure that the distribution of the money that goes into the league benefits the players, and they believe that football has lost its joy,due to so many changes that they have made.They also argue the community to assist NFA to promote sports by sponsoring the teams with the little that they can give  and host more tournaments in local towns for youth exposure.
