Namibian soccer player Isaskar Gurirab has issued a public apology after being removed from the national team camp in Botswana for failing to follow national protocols.
In an official press statement released this week, Gurirab acknowledged his mistake and expressed regret for his actions, saying he should have communicated better and taken greater responsibility. He apologized to the Namibian Football Association (NFA) leadership, technical staff, teammates, supporters, and the nation at large for any disappointment caused.
“I sincerely apologize for my recent actions that led to my removal… I pledge that such an incident will not happen again, and I am committed to upholding the discipline and respect that this esteemed team and country deserve,” Gurirab stated.

The striker emphasized his gratitude for the opportunities provided by the national team, describing it as more than just a platform for his personal development but also a symbol of hope, unity, and patriotism for Namibia. He reiterated his pride in wearing the national badge and his commitment to representing the country with integrity.
Quoting scripture from Philippians 4:13, Gurirab said that his faith, along with the support of the Namibian people, would continue to strengthen him as he works to rebuild trust and serve the nation both on and off the pitch.
Gurirab was removed from the national team after leaving the camp without permission with goalkeeper Kazapua following their 2:1 loss to Malawi.
