Namibian striker Uetuuru Kambato has hit the ground running in the Kosovo First Division, becoming a vital player for KF Liria in their quest to climb the league standings.

At the start of the season, the 26-year-old right-footed forward joined the club from African Stars, Namibia's reigning Premier League champions. Since his arrival, Kambato has seamlessly transitioned into European football, showcasing his goal-scoring prowess and playmaking abilities.

Kambato, a member of the Brave Warriors squad at the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations in Côte d'Ivoire, has carried his fine form from Namibia into the Kosovo league. Over the last four matches, he has been directly involved in six goals – netting five and assisting one.

His standout performance came against league leaders KF Drenica, where Kambato scored a first-half brace and set up a crucial goal, helping his team secure an impressive 3-2 victory. In a heartfelt moment, Kambato dedicated his celebration to his late grandmother, a testament to the personal significance of his achievements.



Driving KF Liria's Revival

KF Liria currently occupy fifth place on the league table and Kambato’s contributions have been pivotal in their resurgence following last season’s relegation. His consistency in front of goal and ability to influence games have made him a key figure in their campaign to challenge for promotion.

Kambato is part of a growing contingent of Namibian players making their mark in Kosovo. Fellow countrymen Romeo Kasume and Erastus Kalula have recently joined the league, while Prins Tjiueza and Aprocius Petrus showcased their talent in Kosovo last season. This influx underscores the rising reputation of Namibian footballers in Europe.



Kambato’s form in numbers

In his last four games for KF Liria:

• 2 goals and 1 assist vs KF Drenica

• 1 goal vs Mitrovica FC

• 1 goal vs Trepça 89 FC

• 1 goal vs KF Rahoveci 1931 FC

With six goal contributions in four matches, Kambato is establishing himself as one of the standout players in the league.



Flying the Namibian flag high

Despite repeated attempts, Sports Wrap has been unable to reach Kambato for comment. Nevertheless, his performances speak volumes about his determination and skill, making him a beacon of Namibian football talent on the European stage.

As the Kosovo Superliga continues its 33-match season from August to May, all eyes will be on Kambato to see if he can sustain his impressive form and help propel KF Liria further up the standings.
