Debswana To Continue Support For Boteti Women’s Football League

Motlhabani was speaking on Friday at a ceremony organised to appreciate him for advocating for the backing of Women’s Football League in Boteti through Debswana’s corporate social investment programme. The ceremony was also an occassion to thank Debswana for supporting women football in the region over the years. Earlier at the event, Boteti Regional Football Association (BRFA) chairperson, Philemon Bunu expressed fears that Motlhabani’s departure at the end of the month might hamper the chances of the sponsorship for the Women’s Football League being renewed. The sponsorship that was signed in 2019 is only left with one year to elapse.

The whole sum for the sponsorship is P600 000 with each season allocated P200 000. “I can give assurances that Debswana will not cease sponsoring or backing women football in Boteti. The incoming general manager will however see how he can improve or make changes in the sponsorship or the support given to women football in the region. It is part of Debswana’s mission to make the life of the girl child brilliant. That is why we will continue to be part of women football in Boteti,” Motlhabani said. He disclosed that when he officially handover reigns to the incoming general manager he will highlight the difference the Debswana sponsorship has made to the women’s league in the Boteti region.
