Botswana National Sport Commission (BNSC) has announced a landmark decision that will reshape the future of its flagship annual event. The organisation’s leadership has revealed that the 46th edition will, for the first time since its inception, be hosted outside Gaborone.

The announcement was made during the 45th Botswana National Sport Awards held on Saturday at the Gaborone International Convention Centre, The strategic shift forms part of a broader decentralisation drive aimed at making sports recognition more inclusive and accessible across the country.

Officials noted that by taking the prestigious awards to other cities and towns, the BNSC seeks to stimulate grassroots development, strengthen regional sports structures, and inspire young athletes in every corner of Botswana.
