The Players Union of Botswana (FUB) on Friday signed a four-year Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Construction Industry Trust Fund (CITF) that will see players take up courses that will enhance their careers beyond playing football.

Speaking during the signing ceremony, FUB president, Onalethata Tshekiso said they will continue to enter into partnerships with local institutions because their plan is to empower players through education. “We encourage players to plan for life after their athletic career.

We continue to look for other partnerships that will enhance players’ careers. Regardless of how much you earn, life is very short. You should plan your life properly,” Tshekiso said. He also said as the players’ union, they have a responsibility to ensure that they mould responsible future citizens of this country.
