In his welcome remarks, KRFA Chairperson Mr. Vincent Mafuta thanked all participants for heeding their call and also paid homage to the BFA leadership for providing them with coach educators and also gracing their opening ceremony.

In his address, the BFA president Maclean Letshwiti pointed out that our failure to develop players from grassroots level is the biggest contributing factor to the national team failures. He urged that as part of club development they won’t allow clubs to use coaches with anything less than BFA C license hence creating room for all BFA C holders. Letshwiti highlighted that he was happy to receive an invitation to this event as he wants the regions to lead the development of football in Botswana.

‘’This is what I have been talking about when commissioning Reset Agenda, I want to see changes, I want the regions to lead the development of football in Botswana, the BFA should only be there to support.” Mr Letshwiti.
