Capricorn Group has renewed its partnership with Cricket Namibia, reinforcing a strategic investment in the future of women’s and girls’ cricket and reaffirming its commitment to advancing inclusive sport development in Namibia.
The renewed agreement will run from 1 June 2026 to 31 May 2028 and continues Capricorn Group’s role as naming partner to the national women’s team, proudly known as the Capricorn Eagles, as well as the national Under-19 team, girls’ cricket festivals and the girls’ school league.
The Capricorn Eagles brand has become a recognised symbol of excellence and growth in women’s cricket, not only in Namibia but also internationally, reflecting both the team’s achievements and Capricorn Group’s long-standing support of the game.
Capricorn Group, with the support of its subsidiary Capricorn Asset Management and Capricorn Private Wealth, became the primary sponsor of women’s cricket in 2021 and has continued to support the team since then. This long-term commitment reflects the Group’s focus on growth that stays, by investing in initiatives that create lasting value for communities and contribute to the ongoing development of sport in Namibia.
Under the renewed agreement, Capricorn Group will invest N$1.2 million over the next two years to support Cricket Namibia’s women’s and girls’ programmes and initiatives. In addition to this financial contribution, the Group will provide the Capricorn Eagles and the national Under-19 team with branded promotional items to strengthen visibility and deepen support for the women’s game.
Marlize Horn, Group Chief Brand and Corporate Affairs Officer at Capricorn Group, said: “At Capricorn Group, we believe sport has the power to unlock potential, inspire ambition and create opportunities that extend far beyond the field of play. Our continued partnership with Cricket Namibia is therefore not only an investment in the Capricorn Eagles, but in the broader advancement of women’s and girls’ cricket in Namibia. Since 2021, we have seen the team grow in confidence, visibility and competitiveness, demonstrating what is possible when talent is matched with sustained support. We are proud to continue backing these remarkable athletes and to help build a stronger pathway for the next generation of girls in cricket.”
Johan Muller, Chief Executive Officer of Cricket Namibia, said: “Capricorn Group’s continued partnership is a strong endorsement of the progress being made in women’s cricket in Namibia and of the potential that still lies ahead. Their sustained support has helped us expand opportunities for girls to enter the game, strengthen our national talent pipeline and raise the profile of women’s cricket on local and international platforms. This renewed commitment gives us greater momentum to keep building a competitive and sustainable future for the sport.”
More than a sponsorship, the partnership reflects a shared ambition to open doors for young female athletes, expand access to the sport and strengthen the pipeline of talent that will shape the future of Namibian cricket.
