Maldives athletes train in Botswana for Olympics

The initiative is the beginning of hopefully a long-term collaboration between the National Olympic Committees (NOC) of the two countries to share resources and experiences in building on their relationship of promoting elite sport. The idea is that the Maldives will bring athletes to Botswana on a rotational basis, with each group coming for a predetermined period of time.

The athletes will be based at the Botswana National Sport Commission’s (BNSC) Athletes Village and will train at the National Stadium, under the guidance of Botswana Athletics Association (BAA) coaches.
