Two Namibian female referees, Victoria Shangula and Eveline Augustinus, are flying the Namibian flag high as they prepare to officiate at the 100th edition of the CAF Women's Club COSAFA Championship League, set to take place in Johannesburg, South Africa, from the 22nd to the 31st of August.

Their selection follows the recent spotlight on Twanyanyukwa Antsino, who officiated at the Women's AFCON final in Morocco, further highlighting Namibia's growing presence in international women's football officiating.

With Namibia's Beauties Football Club set to make its debut at the regional tournament, the team, known for its rich history in Namibian women's football, faces a tough challenge after being drawn into a group with South Africa's Mamelodi Sundowns, Ntopwa FC from Malawi, and Zesco Ndola Girls of Zambia.

The tournament will feature 10 teams, grouped into three pools.

One group will have four teams, while the other two will include three teams each. All teams will compete in a round-robin format.

The top team from each group and the best second-placed team across all pools will advance to the semi-finals.

Only the winner of the COSAFA qualifiers will earn a spot at the CAF Women's Champions League continental finals.

Namibia continues to make its mark in African women's football-both on the pitch and with the whistle.
