The City of Windhoek Council has approved a proposal by the Namibia Football Association (NFA) to upgrade the Sam Nujoma Stadium to meet international standards set by the Confederation of African Football (CAF) and FIFA.
The City decided this during the Ordinary Council Meeting of the Municipal Council of Windhoek, held on Monday, 10 November 2025
Instead of selling the stadium as proposed, the Council decided to contribute to 50% of the stadium upgrades to meet international standards.
“Council approved a 50/50 cost-sharing arrangement for the structural upgrades, estimated at N$19,926,266.00 (including VAT),” the City updated.
The stadium was banned in 2021 from hosting international matches after it was found not to meet the required standards.
