The Namibia Premier League (NPL) was the highest level of domestic association football in Namibia until it was disbanded following the 2018-19 season. The league was established in 1990 and was trimmed to 12 teams from the traditional 16 in 2005. It was disbanded in 2020 after ongoing problems with the Namibia Football Association, which finally ended their relationship. The NFA founded the Namibia Football Premier League to replace it. The new league kicked off with the 2022-2023 season with African Stars against UNAM FC at the Hage Geingob Rugby Stadium.[https://southerntimesafrica.com/site/news/namibia-football-starts-new-chapter Namibia football starts new chapter.
