AN’s core responsibility is to ensure the development of athletics and athletes in Namibia and become competitive in the world and positively impact lives and the health of Namibians. Discussions between the South West Africa Amateur Athletics Association and the Government of South West Africa, culminated in the provision of funds for the Windhoek Municipality to build the Windhoek Stadium, now known as the Independence Stadium, where the facilities would be available for everyone.
