Bank Windhoek strengthens commitment to sports development
Bank Windhoek confirmed its role as Title Sponsor of the upcoming Bank Windhoek National Senior Track and Field Championship, reinforcing the Bank’s long-standing commitment to developing sport and creating pathways for Namibian athletes to excel locally and internationally. The sponsorship includes N$150,000 towards event preparations for the championship, scheduled for 26–27 April 2026 in Windhoek. The investment supports high-performance competition, talent identification, and the continued strengthening of athletics structures that feed the national pipeline.
As one of the country’s most accessible sports, athletics plays a vital role in youth development, building discipline, resilience, and healthy lifestyles while offering opportunities for progression from school level to elite competition. Bank Windhoek’s Head of Strategic Partnerships and Corporate Social Responsibility, Bronwyn Moody, said that Bank Windhoek believes in investing in what moves Namibia forward. “By
supporting Athletics Namibia and the National Senior Track and Field Championship, we are helping to create a platform where athletes can test themselves, improve performance, and take the next step in their sporting journeys.” Madeleine Kotze, Secretary General of Athletics Namibia, welcomed the sponsorship: “The
support from Bank Windhoek is instrumental in ensuring a well-organised championship that provides the right competitive environment for our athletes.
Partnerships like these contribute directly to sports development and help us continue building athletics nationwide.” Bank Windhoek’s support for athletics forms part of a broader commitment to community
upliftment and youth empowerment. “By backing well-run competitions and federations that grow participation and performance, the Bank contributes to a stronger sports ecosystem, helping athletes, coaches, and administrators build sustainable success,” Moody said. Members of the public, stakeholders, and the media are encouraged to support Namibian athletics by attending the championship and following updates from Athletics Namibia throughout the event.
Moody concluded by emphasising that Bank Windhoek is committed to supporting initiatives that strengthen communities and contribute to Namibia’s social and economic progress. She added that through targeted sponsorships and partnerships, the Bank invests in programmes that enable young people to thrive, promote healthy lifestyles, and help build national pride through sport. Athletics Namibia is the national governing body responsible for the administration and development of athletics in Namibia. The federation works to grow participation, develop athletes and technical officials, and provide competitive opportunities that support excellence in the sport.
