The Botswana Football Association (BFA) and Diamond Trading Company Botswana (DTCB) have penned a three-year deal for the women's league and women's grassroots programmes worth P2,430,000.

Speaking at the launch this (Tuesday) morning, DTCB general manager, Sediment Serumola said to promote gender equality and parity, the company considered a request from the BFA to help elevate the women's game in the country. "Since the talks began mid-last year, the DTCB took heed of a request from the BFA to sponsor the women's league. Upon this request, DTCB deliberated and took a decision to not only sponsor the women's league but also the grassroots training programmes in all the 17 regions of the BFA structures.

Commencing in the 2022-2023 season, DTCB will be the lead sponsor of the women's league and grassroots development. This sponsorship will run for three years and amount to the tune of P2.43 million," he said.
