All matches take place at the Wanderers Sports Club in the Namibian capital Windhoek.
National men’s coach Ryan Cook: “We are looking forward to our first WCL2 fixtures of 2025 in Namibia. We have been able to assemble a well-balanced squad which will be able to adapt to the conditions and opposition we face. The squad has put in extensive preparation in the Netherlands over the winter and during a camp in Cape Town in February which has seen some great improvements and the team is ready to meet the challenges ahead.”
The top-4 of the eight participating countries will eventually play a qualifying tournament for the World Cup, which will be held in South Africa, Namibia and Zimbabwe in 2027.
