Mokati Stadium will host all the two semi-final matches of NFA Debmarine Namibia Cup on September 23.

The decision to host all the last two matches at the same venue has been necessitated by the absence of alternative venues around Otjiwarongo.

According to a statement from Namibia Football Federation (NFA) obtained by Soka25east , Tura Magic will play Mighty Gunners as from 3pm. This will then give way for Young Africans to take o Young Chiefs as from 5p.m.

Meanwhile, Young African FC head coach Marley Ngarizemo said he is optmistic that his team will book a place in the finals.

“I have brought in a few new faces from Zimbabwe and Ghana to reinforce the team.

“We are trying so hard to start preparing for the semi-finals and I do believe we will be ready,” Ngarizemo said.

Ngarizemo added that his team will not be intimidated by the fact that they are playing away from home.

“We have already played away from home in this competition and that is why I do believe my players will not be affected by the trip,” he said.

On his side, Tura Magic coach Paulus Shipanga said his team would guard against complacency and would work hard to end Mighty Gunners’ journey in the competition.

Tura Magic defeated premier league side Civics by a solid goal from striker Itamunua Keimuine to reach the last four, while Mighty Gunners secured a 1-0 win against Try Again FC in Gobabis

Tournament underdogs Young African FC secured their place in the semi-final by defeating Rundu Chiefs 5-4 on penalties in a nail-biting quarterfinal match.
