African Stars Football Club needs just six points from their last three games to win the Debmarine Premier League title for a third straight season.
Stars lead the log with 53 points after 27 matches.
Young African Football Club follows closely with 49 points from the same number of games.
This weekend, Stars will play two away games.
On Saturday, they face Okahandja United at Nau-Aub Stadium in Okahandja.
On Sunday, they travel to Otjiwarongo to play the Mighty Gunners.
If Stars win both games, they will secure the title before the final round.
If they drop points, the last match of the season could decide the championship. Stars will face Young African at Legare Stadium in Gobabis—Young African’s home ground.
Young African will also play two matches this weekend.
They meet Mighty Gunners in Otjiwarongo on Saturday and Okahandja United on Sunday.
If they fail to win both, Stars could be crowned champions earlier.
Before his suspension by the Namibia Football Association last week, Young African coach Mali Ngarizemo said, “I will not give up and will fight for the league honours until the last game.”
Young Brazilians from Karasburg, Blue Boys from Swakopmund, and Cuca Tops from Rundu have been relegated from the elite league.
