A Namibian U15 girls’ soccer team arrived in Oslo Friday the 17 July. They will participate in the Norway Cup, one of the biggest youth football festivals in the world. The tournament, which has been held annually since 1974, last year attracted an estimated 30 000 boys and girls from 42 countries who played a total of 4 000 matches. Namibia has participated with boys teams on three previous occasions from Oshivelo, Khorixas and Swakopmund, but this year marks the first time that they will send a girls team and the team is from Windhoek.
