Robert Cosmo Nauseb (born 23 August 1974 in Otjiwarongo) is a Namibian retired football midfielder who last played for Ikapa Sporting in South Africa.[1]

Club career[edit]

Nicknamed Baggio, Nauseb played a large part of his career for one of South Africa's biggest soccer clubs Kaizer Chiefs.[2] He started playing football for local side Black Marroko Chiefs before joining capital club Civics from Orlando Pirates Windhoek. He then left Civics for a lengthy spell in South Africa.[3]

International career[edit]

He was part of the Namibian 1998 African Nations Cup team,[4] who finished bottom in group C in the first round of competition, thus failing to secure qualification for the quarter-finals.[5] He made his debut for the Brave Warriors in a June 1997 World Cup qualification match against Liberia and totalled 6 goals in 59 games for them.[6]
