Khomas

The Khomas Women's Football League (KWFL) is the regional league of women's football in the Khomas region . It has been carried out since 1999 and is considered the most professional of the regional leagues, which is why it appeared in 2005 under the name "Namibia Women's Football League". The Okahandja Beauties are record champions of the Khomas League.

Three teams are football teams from the three large tertiary educational institutions in Windhoek. The Polytechnic Babes are a team from the Namibia University of Science and Technology , the UNAM Bokkies play for the University of Namibia and the WCE team for the Windhoek College of Education .

In 2010 the league was not played due to organizational and financial problems.
