Deputy sport minister Dino Ballotti has hailed Team Namibia’s performance at the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow, Scotland, as a platform for future international success, saying the country’s athletes have demonstrated their potential despite limited resources. Speaking at a welcoming reception at Hosea Kutako International Airport on Wednesday, Ballotti praised the 23-member team for proudly representing Namibia. “To the 23 athletes who represented Namibia, you represented Namibia so well, and we are so immensely proud of you,” he said. Looking ahead, the deputy minister said preparations for upcoming events, including the Dakar Youth Olympic Games, the Africa Games and the Los Angeles 2028 Olympic Games, must begin immediately. Director of sport Jo-Ann Manuel at the occasion said Team Namibia’s campaign should not be measured by medals alone, but also by the personal bests, improved rankings, and promising performances.
