The Rundu Sports Stadium is an association football stadium in Rundu, Namibia with seating for 500 spectators. [1] The grass-surface stadium is also capable of hosting athletics, netball, and basketball matches and is the only stadium in the Kavango East and Kavango West regions. [2] The stadium is the home venue of Julinho Sporting and Cuca Tops of the Namibia Premiership and Rundu Chiefs and United Stars of the Namibia First Division. [3]

History

The stadium was constructed in 1992. In 2016 the stadium underwent a renovation, including the installation of its first-ever floodlighting, in preparation to host several high-profile football tournaments. [1] By 2021 the stadium was in need of major restoration and repair. Namibian silver-medal Olympian Christine Mboma decried the state of the running track and called for one of international standard. [4]
