Namibia Rugby Union (NRU) and Namibia Schools Sport Union (NSSU) sign Memorandum of Understanding

The agreement will see with the two organizations collaborate on the development of Rugby in the country, particularly on the school level.

NSSU president, Roger Kambatuku, stated that the NRU is the first and only sports federation in Namibia to sign such an agreement with the Union. "This is a declaration that we want to work together with our federations. NRU is the first one, perhaps the others will follow," Kambatuku expressed.

Kambatuku also stated that a focus of the agreement is to bring the sport of rugby to the schools and towns in which it is currently absent.

Vice President of the NRU, Johan Diergaardt, noted that this agreement will open doors for the growth of women's rugby on a school level, which currently does not exist in Namibia.
