Debswana happy with the BFA

Sep 15, 2016

As Debswana, we are happy to continue our relationship with the BFA on the First Division League; our excitement comes from the fact that our sponsorship of this league continues to make a positive impact in football across the country. This is in line with our purpose as Debswana to turn diamond dreams into lasting reality; we see our association today with the BFA and the FDL as another vehicle through which we can do that.

As we commence the second phase of this sponsorship, I can only encourage the BFA to continue to vigorously develop the league infrastructure, coaching, referee and overall playing talent in order to ensure visibility and strengthen the First Division League brand! A vibrant and visible First Division League brand will attract and retain potential sponsors, increase spectator numbers and gate takings which can be ploughed back into Football development. The BFA must continue to develop the FDL brand into a successful brand as all of us want to be associated with success.

CAF C coaching course for coaches in women’s football officially began today, marking the first day of a week-long training program that will run until April 14, 2025, at the Lekidi Football Centre.

Aimed at enhancing the skills of coaches in women’s football, the course has attracted 30 participants from various regions across the country, including areas such as Nhabe, Tsabong, Hukuntsi, Central, and the FRAFA regions. Notably, two of the participants come from the national team: current Mares midfielder Golebaone Selebatso and former Mares defender Lebogang Setereke.

The course, designed to provide in-depth coaching knowledge and technical expertise, is led by experienced instructor Sepheko Motlhagodi. The course is being coordinated by the BFA Women’s Football Development and Grassroots Instructor Ms. Barobi Nwako, ensuring that participants receive top-notch training throughout the program.

The CAF C coaching course aims to empower and upskill local coaches to help elevate women’s football in Botswana, with a special focus on developing the next generation of talent in the sport. By the end of the course, attendees are expected to have gained the essential tools and insights to further their coaching careers and contribute to the growth of women’s football in Botswana.

As the days progress, the participants will be engaging in various sessions, blending theory and practical work, ensuring a well-rounded learning experience that will benefit both the individuals involved and the football community at large.
