THE first edition of the Confederation of African Football (CAF) U-15 7-aside Girl Competition which started the past weekend in Windhoek is set to come to its conclusion on Saturday at the Namibia Football Association (NFA) Technical Centre in Katutura.

“This is just the beginning of the pilot and after this we will see how it pans out. Yes, I am impressed with the turn out and commitment of the teams (schools). The girls are very excited to be playing football again,” said Vries.
