The summit, which will be held at the University of Botswana's Campus Indoor Sports Centre, has already attracted several distinguished speakers, and the organizers are excited to continue expanding the list.

They have said that they are in talks with potential sponsors and welcome new ones to join in making this a landmark event for Botswana football. Owe Mmolawa, co-organizer of the Botswana Football Summit, told BG Sport this week that discussions with potential sponsors were ongoing, including the main sponsor.

We are confident that the event will be a success, and we are grateful for the interest and support of our potential partners,” Mmolawa said.

He highlighted that The Botswana Football Summit serves as an international platform for industry leaders to engage in discussions on the growth and future dynamics of the game. Sponsors can benefit from exposure to a

diverse and influential audience, brand visibility through various summit activities, networking opportunities with sports professionals, and association with a high-profile event that promotes the development of football.

“We are open to collaboration with additional partners who share our vision for advancing the football industry. Interested parties are encouraged to reach out, and we would be happy to explore potential partnerships,” he stated. “The response from the football community in Botswana and the region has been positive.
