In August 2014, the club acquired the right to start in the highest Namibian league, the Namibia Premier League, from Ramblers FC. Thus, in the 2014/15 season, UNAM FC competed in the first division for the first time.[9]

On 2 October 2014,Grand Master Printing owed by former UNAM student and businessman Eliaser Ndimulunde took over the vacant position of shirt sponsor for N$60,000 per season.[10]

In February 2023, the club announced that MUMI would become the main shirt sponsor in a 3 year deal of N$30,000 per year.[1]
