BPL resolves branding war

BPL sponsors, Mascom Wireless and BTC were fighting over the branding at the National Stadium, which is mostly used by Gaborone Premier League sides. Mascom bought space from the stadium custodians, the Botswana National Sports Commission (BNSC) at the ‘Panda’ stand.

BTC on the other hand protested that their competitor is gaining free mileage during BTC sponsored league games. The boardroom battle between the two companies has since limited the BPL in terms of venues for league matches. The BNSC has insisted that any company is free to rent space since it needs money to maintain the facilities.
