South Africa was duly defeated and the Namibian National Team was on its way to Kuopio, Finland for the 2005 IIHF Inline Hockey World Championships in July.

Newly appointed Cazadores coach, Roman Marx from Germany, was immediately roped in to lend a helping hand to the very able Head Coach Philippe Boudreault. Team manager, Ulrike Rodenwoldt, together with tour manager, Tom Mutavdzic, were faced with the daunting task of trying to make participation financially possible. With the assistance of a "never say die" committee, the support of sports director Arndt Asmus, enthusiastic parents and skilful coaches, the "once upon a time dream to participate in a world championship" has finally become a reality.

As a point of interest: There are currently approximately 400 inline hockey players in Namibia and five clubs affiliated to NIIHA, namely:

Coastal Pirates - Swakopmund

Scorpions - Otjiwarongo

DTS Kamikaze - Windhoek

Cazadores - Windhoek

Badgers - Windhoek
