Maleagi ‘Marley’ Ngarizemo Appointed NPFL Director
Young African FC Chairperson Maleagi “Marley” Ngarizemo has been appointed as a director of the Namibia Premier Football League (NPFL) for the 2026/27 season following a proposal by Mighty Gunners FC.
The appointment was supported by eight clubs during the Namibia Football Association (NFA) Congress held in Windhoek, where Ngarizemo secured backing from teams across the top-flight league.
The clubs that seconded his appointment were FC Ongos, Blue Waters SC, PSTBet Khomas Nampol FC, PSTBet Eeshoke Chula Chula FC, Young Brazilians FC, KK United, UNAM FC and Onambula United.
His appointment comes amid major changes involving Young African FC, the club he own and chairs. The club’s Premier League status was sold to Tigers FC, while its First Division status was subsequently sold to Namib Woestyn SC.
Ngarizemo now takes up a leadership role in the country’s top-flight football structure as the league continues its preparations for the 2026/27 season.
