The Namibia Premier League (NPL), also known as MTC Namibia Premier League due to sponsorship reasons, was the highest level of domestic association football in Namibia. The league was established in 1990 and was trimmed to 12 teams from the traditional 16 in 2005. It was folded in 2020 after ongoing problems with the Namibia Football Association, which finally ended the relationship. Meanwhile, the NFA founded the Namibia Football Premier League.^[2]^[3]
