The mines’ general manager Adrian Gale told the media during a tour last Thursday that stakeholders associated with the club including the supporters, want the name changed to Boteti United.

 “Changing the club’s name is something we are seriously looking at. The name of the club may change in the near future if it is deemed appropriate after thorough consultations with stakeholders. The stakeholders feel that Boteti people will better associate with the club when it is called Boteti,” Gale said.

 He stated that stakeholders have pledged to support the club next season to build a vibrant team. Orapa United was founded two seasons ago after the merger of Orapa Bucs, Boteti Young Fighters, Orapa Swallows, White Diamonds and Orapa Wanderers.
