The Botswana Football Association (BFA) is proud to announce that General Secretary Mr. Mfolo E. Mfolo and Technical Director Mr. Kaelo Kaelo are currently representing Botswana at the FIFA Technical Leadership Introductory Workshop, taking place in Tanzania from 11โ€“15 August 2025.

This prestigious workshop, which also included an online preparatory meeting on 22 July 2025, brings together General Secretaries and Technical Directors from selected African Member Associations, including Algeria, Botswana, Cabo Verde, Cรดte d’Ivoire, Egypt, Ethiopia, Lesotho, Liberia, Libya, Mali, Morocco, Namibia, Rwanda, Somalia, Tunisia, and Zimbabwe.

Workshop Structure and Focus Areas

The programme is split into two main parts:

  • Part 1: Technical Directors collaborate in peer groups, exploring their roles, responsibilities, and the extensive support services provided by FIFA.

  • Part 2: General Secretaries join the sessions to strengthen leadership collaboration and enhance communication for effective football development within their respective Member Associations.

Key Objectives of the Workshop

  • Define the Technical Directorโ€™s role and priorities within a Member Association.

  • Strengthen collaborative relationships between Technical Directors and General Secretaries.

  • Improve communication with internal and external stakeholders.

  • Gain deeper insight into FIFAโ€™s Global Football Development structure and programmes.

  • Explore strategies for funding, interdepartmental collaboration, and effective leadership.

This important engagement reinforces Botswanaโ€™s commitment to football excellence and ensures that the nation remains at the forefront of technical and administrative development in African football.

The BFA extends its best wishes to Mr. Mfolo and Mr. Kaelo as they proudly carry the national flag in Tanzania. They are expected to return to Botswana on Saturday, 16 August 2025.

In the interim, Mr. Kago Mosinyi will serve as Acting BFA Chief Executive Officer to ensure smooth leadership continuity.
