Namibia’s Young Wrestlers Make Their Mark at African Championships 2025. Namibia’s wrestling team wrapped up their campaign at the African Championships 2025 with promising results, signalling a bright future for the country’s presence on the continental stage.
The team, composed largely of first-time competitors in their weight categories, walked away with several bronze medals and a series of strong fourth-place finishes. The performance, while modest in medal count, reflects a major step forward for the athletes and the national wrestling programme.
The young team’s achievements are being celebrated not only for the medals earned, but for the foundation they are laying for future competitions. With age on their side, many of these athletes are expected to grow into serious contenders in the years ahead.
A key figure in the team’s success has been coach Luis Forcelledo Paz, whose dedication to athlete development has earned widespread respect. His coaching approach, marked by technical precision and unwavering support, has been instrumental in preparing Namibia’s wrestlers for the international stage.
