New club plans to change Francistown soccer

Though Ghetto Stars was formed four months ago, it wants to change the face of women soccer in Francistown and the northern region. The club is the brainchild of the captain Mitchel Tlhasela and her friend Portia Mogapi. They formed the club in September because they wanted to see if they could get a response from the youth in Francistown.

Tlhasela played for Gaborone-based national women soccer champions Double Action before she relocated to Francistown. She had nowhere to train in the second city so she decided to form a club. "We need a women's league in Francistown," she said. She asserted that if clubs in Francistown are serious about football, they can start their own league soon.
