MPSH from Windhoek<\/strong> emerged victorious after a dramatic 4-3 penalty shootout against Tuk-Tuk<\/strong> at Rehoboth Stadium. The winning team secured N$25,000<\/strong> (\u20ac1,240), a floating trophy and 20 gold medals, while Tuk-Tuk earned N$12,500<\/strong> (\u20ac620) and silver medals. Semi-finalists Omandindi FC<\/strong> and Rehoboth FC <\/strong>each received N$6,250<\/strong> (\u20ac310). Individual honours went to MPSH’s Ndjraeree Maharero<\/strong> as best player and Erastus Mulundi<\/strong> as best goalkeeper, both of whom were awarded N$1,000<\/strong> (\u20ac49.61) and trophies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Organised by Rhuuksie\/\/Garoeb<\/strong>, the event carried a powerful message that went beyond the vibrant weekend football action, bolstered by its theme, “Football against Gender-Based Violence, Violence against Children, and Substance Abuse”. <\/strong>The stands buzzed with families and supporters, many of whom shared personal stories of overcoming local challenges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Oudrewman Betting, a Namibian sports wagering company based in Khomas<\/strong>, saw the event as an opportunity to support community engagement. Its involvement signals a commitment to community-driven initiatives, with plans to deepen ties in future editions of the cup. <\/p>\n\n\n\n A spokesperson said: “We sponsor tournaments like this to strengthen local bonds. Watching young people and families unite for football and a meaningful cause is why we’re here.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n The company, which collaborates with tech providers like NSoft<\/strong> for its betting platform, has backed local sports previously but marked this as its first major sponsorship of a socially themed tournament. Other sponsors of the tournament include Chico Namibia <\/strong>and the Stina Youth Growth Foundation<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Named after the Governor of the Hardap Region, Riaan McNab<\/strong>, the cup drew teams from rural areas like Groot Aub, creating a sense of regional connection. Players and supporters travelled long distances, transforming the stadium into a hub of shared purpose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Tournament organiser Garoeb hailed the event’s success, saying: “This was more than football; it was about bringing people together to tackle serious issues like gender-based violence and substance abuse. We thank the teams, fans, sponsors and volunteers for making this possible and look forward to growing the event in the future.”<\/p>\n\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/focusgn.com\/africa\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2025\/08\/Betway-900x600-300x200.jpg\")
