KK Palace, Chula Chula in season decider derby final This Sunday sees Oshakati become the center of activity when KK Palace and Eeshoke Chula Chula football clubs face off in a spicy northern derby at the Oshakati Independence Stadium. The Debmarine Namibia Premiership match will start at 16h00 and is the final league match of the season—one that may determine the two clubs’ futures. With both sides requiring a win to qualify for the top eight, the stakes have never been higher. Loss for either would mean dropping out of contention, and thus this match is a high-pressure struggle for survival and honor. Kennedy Shikongo, KK Palace Marketing Manager, has rallied the supporters to come out in numbers for this vital match. “We want all the supporters in the stadium. This is not football—it’s identity, pride, and oneness,” said Shikongo. “It’s the final match of the season, and the boys require that final push from the stands.” According to the team management, KK Palace has faced numerous challenges throughout the 2023/24 Debmarine Namibia Premiership season, particularly the lack of a major sponsor. “From day one, we’ve been struggling financially,” Shikongo revealed. “Running a club without sponsorship in a competitive league is extremely difficult. But our spirit has never broken.” Against the odds, the side has endured thanks to passionate supporters and low-level donors. “We owe so much to people who came in when we had nothing. I want to say a big thank you to the SA Potters and other people who stood by us thick and thin,” he said. Shikongo stressed that the upcoming match is more than a football game but a symbol of determination. “Our players have shown heart all season. This game is for all the fans who believed in us, and for all young footballers up north who dream to play in the Premiership one day.” Chula Chula, however, are equally determined and have ambitions of their own to finish in the top flight. The derby is sure to be an eye-for-an-eye encounter, with both sets of players going hammer and tongs. As Debmarine Namibia Premiership reaches its climax, Sunday’s match at Oshakati Independence Stadium will be a game-charged affair full of emotion, passion, and energy. The crowds are invited in numbers to witness the best of a northern football spectacle. The post KK Palace, Chula Chula in season decider derby final appeared first on The Namibian.

Chula Chula ‘cannot afford any slip ups’ Eeshoke Chula Chula coach, John Sikerete, has said that for his team to contend for the league title this season, they must avoid slip-ups, play selflessly, remain highly focused, and demonstrate resilience. Chula Chula will play at home at Oshakati’s Independence Stadium this weekend as they look to redeem themselves following a series of disappointing performances on home turf during the first leg of the league campaign. However, Sikerete noted that the team will need to change their approach and make the most of their home advantage, while acknowledging the competitiveness of the league. “We are ready as usual. We are trying to change our approach to make sure that we perform well and win crucial points, especially at home. We did well in away games compared to when we are playing at home,” Sikeretee said. Sikerete shared this with Nampa yesterday ahead of their weekend encounters against a highly motivated Mighty Gunners tomorrow and Okahandja United on Sunday. The club faces stiff competition from the top six teams, all of whom remain within striking distance of the title. Sikerete stressed the importance of consistently securing victories to maintain their position and avoid falling behind their rivals. “This season is very competitive. We have to take it game by game as enough points will push us forward. All teams have difficult games; it will be very hectic,” he said, adding that his team has no further room for error by dropping points. Chula Chula need to win both their weekend fixtures to close the gap between themselves and Mighty Gunners, who sit in fourth position with 37 points, three points shy of current league leaders, African Stars. Chula Chula will go into the weekend matches without star players Kennedy Eib and Lawrence Doeseb, who were both red-carded last weekend during their 1-0 victory over Tiger FC in Windhoek. However, Sikerete said the void left by his talented midfielder and defender will be filled by newly signed players from Young African, including versatile defender Petrus Kamati.
