Current: 2022–23 Namibia Premier Football League

The Namibia Premier Football League (NPFL), or the Debmarine Namibian Premiership for sponsorship reasons, is the highest level of domestic association football in Namibia. It operates under the auspices of the Namibia Football Association.[1]

## History[edit]

After ongoing problems with the Namibia Premier League (NPL) following the 2018–19 season, the Namibia Football Association founded the new league themselves.[2][3] Despite a planned debut season in 2021, the league finally played its first season in 2022-23 after securing major sponsorship funding.[1]
