Davids was in Botswana this week, together with a delegation from Spain's La Liga, which is expected to sign a Memorandum of Understanding with the Botswana Premier League (BPL).

BFA public relations and marketing officer, Tumo Mpatane said Davids was in the country on a fact finding mission.

'Edgar was here to fact find. He has set out to build academies in Africa and Botswana is among the countries he is considering,' Mpatane told Mmegi Sport.

On the La Liga, BPL partnership, Mpatane said focus will be on improving the local Premiership.

'La Liga officials will assist us with the model of running football, which the clubs will choose,' he said.

BPL chief executive officer, Thabo 'Styles' Ntshinogang told a media briefing on Monday that the signing of the MoU will take place next week.
