WINDHOEK, 20 JUN – The town of Omaruru in the Erongo Region in collaboration with the Namibia National Olympic Committee (NNOC) will celebrate the fifth annual Olympic Day on Saturday.
The celebrations mark the commemoration of the Olympic Movement when communities of more than 204 nations across the world join in the day to engage in sport, educational and cultural events.
This year, 1 000 athletes in that region are expected to gather at the town to celebrate the mini-Olympic Games that will consist of football, netball, boxing, tennis, athletics, karate, basketball and volleyball.
Sports Officer in the Ministry of Sport, Youth and National Service for Omaruru, Berthold Karumendu told Nampa on Wednesday that Saturday’s event differ from previous Olympic Day celebrations.
“We are going to have senior teams competing in football and netball this year and as for the primary schools, we will have a seven a-side that they will compete in during the day at Luna Park.”
More teams, he explained, have been invited compared to previous years and as usual the day will be concluded by the Olympic Day Boxing Bonanza in the evening at the Ozondje Community Hall.
Karumendu continued that the organisers wish to engage athletes in activities that will allow the local community an opportunity to learn as well as discover together the meaning of sport and its values.
The one-day event will see close to 12 senior football as well as netball teams from all the different towns in Erongo compete amongst each other for the first time here, he noted.
Karumendu concluded that the Municipality of Omaruru will help in cleaning up the sports venues, apart from granting the opportunity to host the event.
