This evening the president of the Botswana Football Association Mr Maclean Letshwiti had a meet and greet with the two schools, Mothamo and Thamaga jss that went to the Pan Africa games in Malawi upon their return from the tournament.

Mr Letshwiti advised the future stars to walk tall as they have represented their country well and did their best on the international stage. He said that loosing was part of the game and added that it was a learning curve and as such should not demotivate them or throw them off their love for the game.

“You didn’t only loose, but you learnt. I’m sure that next year we won’t get the same results because you now have the much needed experience.” said the president.

When concluding Mr Maclean Letshwiti promised the students that he will come to their respective schools to thank their teachers, parents and other relevant stakeholders.

The Mares Display Heart In Tri Nations Challenge

Botswana’s senior women’s national football team recently concluded their campaign in the prestigious Three Nations Challenge, hosted by South Africa from 28 May to 3 June at the Lucas Moripe Stadium. The series saw spirited competition between Botswana, South Africa, and Zambia, as teams continued their preparations for the upcoming Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON) qualifiers.

Despite narrowly missing out on the top prize, Botswana showed immense character and growth throughout the tournament. The Mares kicked off their campaign with a thrilling encounter against the African champions South Africa, narrowly going down 3-2 in a tightly contested match. The team bounced back with a determined performance against Zambia, securing a 1-1 draw and demonstrating resilience and tactical discipline.

Final Tournament Results:

South Africa 3–2 Botswana

Botswana 1–1 Zambia

South Africa 2–0 Zambia

South Africa’s Banyana Banyana were ultimately crowned champions of the series, winning both of their matches to take the top spot. The tournament offered valuable game time and experience for all participating nations, and Botswana’s technical team, led by Head Coach Alex Malete, will take key insights from these fixtures as they refine the squad for the crucial WAFCON fianals.
