Botswana will become the first country in Southern Africa, other than South Africa, to host the International Tennis Federation (ITF) Regional Coaches Conference. The neighboring country has always hosted the conference since it was launched in the 1990s.

ITF development officer for Southern Africa, Tapiwa Masunga said the biennial conference targets coaches from Southern and Eastern Africa and will be held from October 25 to 27.

“It is the first time that the meeting is held outside South Africa.

We expect more than 60 coaches who have confirmed their attendance from 15 countries. We have two key note speakers,” she said.
