The Botswana Football Association (BFA), in partnership with O3 Beverages will announce a competition to determine the lucky quartet that will get the chance to cheer their team at the biggest women's football competition in Africa. The tournament takes place in July. Speaking to Mmegi Sport this week, O3 Beverages chief executive officer, Ali Muhammad said in showing support for the record-breaking Mares’ team, the company will offer a chance to four fans to win a ticket to Morocco.
Muhammad, however, did not go into further details as he said his entity is in the final stages of finalising the terms and conditions of the competition and will make a formal announcement by next week. He hinted the number of travelling fans could increase. “The Mares are going to AWCON for the first time and we want to be behind them. We want to extend an arm to the fans to take some of them with us to Morocco. We may run a competition or do a draw or something. But we want to take some fans with us to Morocco so they can watch the games with us and to get behind the Mares and I think that will be good for our fans.
Maybe by the course of the next week, we will have our competition or whatever we are doing.
It will be on our social media platforms. “What we will do is, we will also open to other private organisations if they want to come on board with us and take more (fans), so maybe they will increase,” Muhammad said. On Tuesday, O3 Beverages penned a three-year deal with the BFA as the official drinking water supplier. O3 will supply all the junior and senior national teams with drinking water for the training sessions and match days.
The company will be the Mares’ drinking water provider and will take Adam’s ale to Morocco, during the team’s stay. Speaking on Tuesday, the BFA chief executive officer, Mfolo Mfolo said the partnership will come in kind for the Mares and will slightly reduce the P7.2 million demand the BFA needs to prepare the Mares for the tournament.
