According to Ekandjo, the tournament kicks off at 09h00 and 1 500 street-soccer participants from all over the region as well as some 21 special guests will feature in Saturday's tournament.

"Namibia Street Soccer is a sport and health programme aiming at equipping young people with experience in life skills and HIV-AIDS awareness," he said.

He added that the Namibia Street Soccer programme creates sport clubs for the youth, brings youngsters together through sport activities and engages them in behavioural change pertaining to HIV-AIDS.
