Orange Botswana proudly has launched the arrival of the highly anticipated 5th season of the Orange FA Cup in collaboration with the Botswana Football Association (BFA).
Reflecting on the journey of the past four seasons, the Orange FA Cup has been a compelling platform for success stories and valuable learnings. This partnership has served as a catalyst, fostering talent development, empowering aspiring athletes, and fortifying the foundation of football in Botswana.
Said Orange Money Director of Commercial and Operations, Gazza Motswagole “As we all know, football holds a unique power to bring people together, irrespective of age, race, gender, or culture. In Botswana, football is a way of life, and it bears opportunity for growth – growth of talent, growth of revenue once truly commercialized, and growth of culture, in many ways. There is a need to nurture and empower those whose dreams are tied to such a sport, for we have such incredible talent and potential in our local football scene.”
