Debswana First Division South side, Black Forest, has completed an ownership change from a society to a registered company.

Local sports brand, URI Sports has now taken total control of the Mankgodi based side and it is now called URI Black Forest. Speaking to Monitor Sport, the club’s director and chairman Mompati Ditiro said URI Sports has been an investor at the club and were proposed by the general membership to take control of the club. “We are at a point of transition now, to determine the division of shares in the now formed company and the general membership which is the society. The society is still part of the team.

It is in fact the society who called for URI to take total control of the club since the society is not profit making and hence was struggling with financial demands of running the club. URI has been investors in the club for quite some time now and now owns the club,” he said. Ditiro further said the changes at the club have brought upon a professional setup, as the club administration has been boosted by personnel. “We have long started the process but it was in 2020 when we made the final strides to hand over the club to URI Sports. You see, there has been a lot advantages to these. At the moment we have a fully fledged office equipped with staff. We now have marketing officers, graphic designers amongst others. Even our social media presence has improved a lot and it is because the club can now afford to.
