The Windhoek Guide - Your Guide to Namibia's Capital

Sport venues exist throughout Windhoek and most of the schools have their own sports fields. The larger venues of national and international standard are on and around the Olympia Sports Ground in the southern part of Windhoek but also in Katutura and like the Tony Rust Race Tracks a few kilometers outside the city.

 

The Olympia Sports Ground is the national sports ground and home to all national stadiums (except Sam Nujoma Stadium). Here are most of the sports clubs and still a lot of open space for further sports development (e.g. a beach soccer stadium is planned). Besides the three big stadiums a Juksei court, a public swimming pool, Angling Club and the Sportklub Windhoek as well as Deutscher Turn- und Sportverein are located here.
