For some time FUB and Botswana Football Association (BFA) have been working on efforts to launch the fund meant to support players particularly those who in the elite league and First Division during instances whewre they lose potential future earnings owing to career ending injuries as well as during other times of need.
Some players, particularly those in the Premier League who were forced to retire from the game owing to injuries struggle to make ends meet because clubs did not adequately compensate them, or they were not compensated at all in some instances.
