FRANCISTOWN, June 15, 2023- Botswana’s senior national team “The Zebras” today paid a courtesy visit to SOS Children’s Village Francistown, Botswana.

During the visit, the players and technical team used their free time to put smiles on faces, mingle and play with the children and staff of the orphanage. The delighted faces had the opportunity to meet and greet their role models who are currently preparing for the TotalEnergies AFCON qualifiers against Libya this Saturday.

Before returning to where they lodged, the team extended a hand of support by donating toiletry items and match tickets. The donation was part of the team’s effort to give back to the community. Head coach Mogomotsi Mpote presented the donated items on behalf of the team and the association.
