On behalf of the BISA Football Technical Committee, I would like to thank the coaches, officials, players and all the stakeholders involved in the just-ended national finals. Teacher coaches must be thanked for without them we wouldn’t have witnessed the quality displayed by our teams throughout the tournament.

We seem to be getting better every year in terms of play and organisation. Our gratitude goes to the Letshwiti led BFA for their continued support as we continue to use the facilities for free. Not many people know that we hijacked the BFA annual program to include the CAF C license course in March, and it bore fruits since 70 % of coaches who reached the national finals attended the same. Teacher coaches are encouraged to invest more in their own coaching education for their own growth and development.

The FIFA Time for Change project which just ended in Kasane, will be in Maun from Monday till Friday. Letters of attendance have already been sent the subzone coordinators with regards to this.

Finally, I still maintain that teachers remain the pin code if as a country we want to qualify for any major international showpiece like the Nations Cup. Let’s keep those injured in our prayers and where we erred as a committee we will improve next year.
