PRESS RELEASE

Jul 15, 2022

To All Media Houses

On behalf of the O3 Beverages family and management, we wish to express our hearty congratulations to both The Mares in Morocco and the young Zebras Squad in KwaZulu-Natal for their incredible runs in their respective tournaments. They have indeed flown the Botswana flag high and made our nation proud.

O3 Beverages wishes to convey its humble apologies to our expectant supporters whom we had pledged to send to Morocco to cheer The Mares on in the WAFCON. Unfortunately, we were confronted by overwhelming logistical challenges, including air tickets and visas, making it impossible to fulfil our pledge.

O3 is currently engaging with the BFA to reward The Mares following their historic achievement of reaching the Quarterfinals of the most prestigious tournament in Africa. The alternative will be communicated in due course.

We would like to take this moment to also commend the BFA for their active efforts in promoting football in Botswana and uplifting women in the Beautiful Game. We have noted the positivity from worldwide broadcasters about the BFA and we are privileged to be aligned with their organization.

Re a Leboga Bagaetsho.

BFA Welcomes New Zebras Head Coach, Morena Ramoreboli

The Botswana Football Association (BFA) is proud to announce the appointment of Mr. Morena Ramoreboli as the new Head Coach of the Zebras. This marks an exciting new chapter for Botswana football, as the men’s and women’s national teams recently achieved historic qualifications for the prestigious Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) in 2025 – only the second time both teams have qualified in the same year.

Mr. Ramoreboli brings over a decade of top-level coaching experience and holds a CAF A license. His accomplishments include winning two Botswana Premier League titles and securing two CAF Champions League qualifications with Jwaneng Galaxy, achieving significant victories against teams like Orlando Pirates and Wydad Athletic Club. His familiarity with many of Botswana’s players from his time at the club level ensures a seamless transition into his new role.

The BFA has set clear targets for Mr. Ramoreboli, including progressing beyond the group stages at AFCON 2025, collecting at least 12 points in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers, qualifying for CHAN 2026, and winning the 2025 COSAFA Senior Men’s Challenge. Additionally, improving Botswana’s FIFA ranking to the top 30 in Africa is a key objective.

To achieve these goals, the BFA is committed to providing the necessary resources and support for the Zebras. The Association also calls on all Batswana to rally behind Mr. Ramoreboli and the national teams. Fans are encouraged to attend matches and create an electrifying atmosphere during the World Cup qualifiers. Plans are underway to make travel packages available for supporters to cheer on the teams in Morocco for the Women’s AFCON and in December for the men’s AFCON.

The BFA also appeals to the media to play an active role in building excitement and uniting the nation behind the Zebras and Mares. A collaborative committee will be formed to drive fan engagement and ensure widespread support.

“We are confident that with Mr. Ramoreboli’s vision, experience, and leadership, the Zebras will achieve great success. With unity and the unwavering support of the nation, there is no limit to what we can accomplish,” said the BFA President.
