FRANCISTOWN: Jwaneng Galaxy assistant coach, Oris Boyo Radipotsane will be honoured for his contribution to the game at his home village, Pilikwe next month. Radipotsane will be honoured on November 6, a day after his wedding.

Pilikwe United chairperson, Fobby Radipotsane said after consultation with various stakeholders in the village, the club decided to name its ground after Oris as one way of honouring him for his contribution to football. The ground is popular for hosting notable sports activities in the village. “Oris is the first player to play in the elite league in the village. He is also one of the most successful players to have ever come out of this village, which is why we believe that he deserves to be honoured.

From November 6, the Pilikwe United ground will now be called Oris Radipotsane Sports Complex. We wanted to honour him while he is still alive,” Radipotsane told Mmegi Sport. Radipotsane said village leaders and key stakeholders will also be part of the event.
