There were also tournaments in basketball and soccer.

The Namibia Triathlon Federation hosted the first ever urban race at the Windhoek Show Grounds in Ausspannplatz in commemoration of Olympic Day on day three and also used the occasion to announce the official Commonwealth Games Triathlon Team 2022.
