Botswana’s President Duma Boko has signed a historic agreement with Jim Ratcliffe, owner of Manchester United, to send ten young Botswana coaches to Old Trafford for an immersion program.
This intensive program aims to raise the country’s technical standards by leveraging the Premier League’s expertise to structure grassroots soccer.
This initiative is part of a broader strategy of sporting soft power as Botswana officially positions itself to co-host the 2028 Africa Cup of Nations.
By professionalizing its technical staff, Gaborone hopes not only to convince CAF of the soundness of its project, but also to ensure the competitiveness of its national team for this major continental event.
