Choppies keen on sponsoring football

Retail chain, Choppies is keen on sponsoring football, with a deal imminent for the development league.

Choppies chief executive officer, Ramachandran Ottapathu told Mmegi Sport that they are in talks with the mother body, the Botswana Football Association (BFA) over a sponsorship deal for the youth league and grassroots football.  “At the moment we are talking to BFA regarding sponsoring the Under-17 and the grassroots,” Ottapathu said. He said in future they will also look at (sponsoring) the league, but their interest at the moment is grassroots football, which BFA president, Maclean Letshwiti has prioritised.

“We are focusing on the grassroots as we believe it is the one that needs more financial assistance than the league,” he said.
