Namibia’s oldest football club, Tigers, ended their 31-year wait for a league title after being crowned champions of the 2015/2016 Namibia Premier League.
After several unsuccessful attempts, the capital-based club finally found their mojo this term and they did it in grand style, wrapping up the title with two games to spare and breaking the duopoly of Black Africa and African Stars, who have dominated Namibian football for the past seven years.

The curtains on the season was drawn at the weekend with newly crowned champions, Tigers, losing 3-2 to Citizens but still managed to finish on 67 points, six points clear of second place Black Africa in the 16-club league. Tigers lost only three of the 30 matches throughout the season, managing 20 victories and seven draws.
The result was enough to help Citizens beat the drop finishing ahead of bottom three, United Stars, Julinho Sporting and Flamingoes (in that order), who will play in the second-tier next season.
By the feat, Tigers will represent Namibia in next year’s CAF Champions League.
