Independence Stadium

Independence Stadium, Multi-purpose stadium in Windhoek, Namibia.

Independence Stadium is a multi-purpose sports facility in Windhoek that accommodates around 25,000 spectators across its seating sections and modern facilities. The venue features scoreboard displays, floodlighting for evening events, and functional seating areas designed for different types of competitions.

Renovation work on the stadium ran from mid-December 2009 to March 2010, timed for the 20th anniversary of independence on 21 March 2010 and to let teams prepare in Namibia before the 2010 World Cup in South Africa. In 2014 it hosted matches of the Africa Women Cup of Nations with a capacity of 19,300. FIFA and CAF withdrew its approval in 2020/21, and CAF decommissioned it in 2021 as sub-standard. In February 2025 the cost of the planned renovation was put at one billion Namibian dollars, with a construction period of 2.5 years.

Independence Stadium hosts annual Namibian independence celebrations and, in February 2024, held the wake of President Hage Geingob; a memorial service for first president Sam Nujoma followed in February 2025. It also stages athletics meetings and concerts, and hosted matches of the 2014 African Women's Championship.

The stadium has parking areas and clear signage in multiple languages to help you navigate when arriving. Main entrances are well-marked and food and beverage stands are located throughout the venue.

The stadium is not the Sam Nujoma Stadium in Katutura, nor the Independence Stadium in Oshakati. In February 2024 it hosted the wake of President Hage Geingob, and in February 2025 a memorial service for first president Sam Nujoma. CAF decommissioned it in 2021 as sub-standard, so the national team must play internationals abroad.
