Hundreds of Batswana thronged the Sir Seretse Khama International Airport (SSKA) yesterday to welcome the national Under-23 side, which won the Four Nations Tournament in China. The team's arrival was delayed by two hours but the supporters did not lose morale as they sang, ululated and danced.

The Young Zebras won in China despite a strong challenge from the hosts, Japan and Korea.  When the Botswana Defence Force (BDF) plane descended at the SSKA at around 11.25am, supporters clad in national colours went wild.

Among the prominent people at the airport to welcome the team were Director of Sports and Recreation, Falcon Sedimo, Botswana National Sports Council (BNSC) chairperson Dorcus Makgato-Malesu and Botswana Football Association (BFA) vice president Matshediso Kowa.
