The book delves into Mamelodi's decade-long reign at the BFA, between 1989 and 2000, revealing the behind-the-scenes everyday challenges and triumphs.

Mamelodi remains one of local football's recognisable faces and recently led the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations bid. He also had a lengthy stint as a FIFA development officer.

“I felt there was a lot that I learnt and experienced during my decade-long stay at the House of Football in Botswana that needed to be shared, including with those in the current and future leadership of the game,” Mamelodi told MmegiSport in a previous interview.
