Minister Steenkamp Demands Answers Over N$7.5 Million NFA Funding

November 12, 2026

Sport Minister Sanet Steenkamp is demanding answers from the Namibia Football Association over how it spent N$7.5 million released by government just days before the Brave Warriors departed for Cameroon. According to Namibia Business Review, the funds were disbursed four days prior to the national team’s departure on Sunday, ahead of tonight’s 9pm Africa Cup of Nations qualifier. Despite the payout, the NFA allegedly failed to settle a N$320 000 hotel bill upon the team’s arrival in Cameroon on Tuesday, leaving players stranded. The players also threatened to boycott tonight’s match over N$620 000 in unpaid allowances and bonuses stemming from previous fixtures against Comoros, the Republic of Congo, and Russia. Steenkamp confirmed she has instructed her ministry’s executive director to demand a full financial breakdown from the association.
