The DebMarine Namibia Cup kicks off on 3 March countrywide, with clubs in the first and second divisions battling it out to secure a place in the round of 32.

There are only 16 spots up for grabs and Kamanjab will play host to the Kunene Region hopefuls.

The Kunene preliminary round will take place on 3 and 4 March at the Kamanjab Combined School, after the draw was conducted last Thursday at Oase Super Market in the town.

Outjo Football Academy, who won the preliminary round last year, will open the action at 07:00 against Bethlehem Boys, which will be followed by the clash between Gariseb Orlando Pirates and Robber Chanties.

Revengers FC and Young Eagles will face-off at 12:35 before the last first round match between Sixty Eleven and Etosha United at 14:00.

The quarterfinals will start at 15:25 with match one pitting the winners from the first two games, and will continue on Sunday at 07:00, all the way to the final at 14:00.

All the action will take place at the Kamanjab Combined School Sports Stadium.
