Girls Taking to the Beautiful Game: "It seems the era when girls 'merely trying' their hand at the male-dominated game of soccer is slowing vanishing as more and more girls take up this sport.
Although certain perceptions indeed die hard as there is still name-calling with girls playing the 'Beautiful Game' being called 'tomboys' or 'macho girls', young girls and women soccer teams have slowly been mushrooming around the country.
Recently at the celebrations to mark the country's 16th independence anniversary, Namibians were entertained to lively soccer matches pitting girls from Khomas in Windhoek and Namib South from Okahandja, against each other. These teams fall under the jurisdiction of the Central Women's Football Team."
""It keeps you away from clubs, drinking and smoking as well as teenage pregnancies," said Belinda, who is looking forward to one day representing her country in the women's national soccer team."
