Just four months ahead of making the Africa Women’s Cup of Nations (AWCON) debut, the Mares’ coach, Gaoletlhoo ‘Ronaldo’ Nkutlwisang has kick-started the team’s preparations.

The Mares regrouped on Monday for the first time since securing a berth at the AWCON finals as Nkutlwisang has involved locally-based players only. The team has no less than 10 new faces in the 31-member squad for the two-week-long training camp at the Lekidi Football Centre.

"I have called a few more players to create competition, no one should be comfortable. We all need to work hard to be ready for AWCON. We need all players to know the philosophy and what we expect of them hence why we will have three to six players per position. AWCON is not far so we also need to closely observe our fitness. We ask Batswana to support the team and let us work for now and ensure we have a team ready for July,” Nkutlwisang said as quoted by Botswana Football Association (BFA) social media platforms. Speaking to Mmegi Sport the coach said she is impressed by the commitment shown by her players in the few days in camp.
