BOTESSA (Botswana Tertiary Student Sports Association) plays a pivotal role in identifying and developing talent across the nation. This impactful organisation has provided a platform for many professional athletes who, at various points, represented the country in diverse sporting codes, having initially competed in BOTESSA games. Focusing on tertiary-level athletes BOTESSA's influence extends beyond the field. The recently renewed three-year P3 million sponsorships from FNB underscores the organisation's commitment to nurturing local athletes.
This commitment is not just about organising games but also involves comprehensive training for coaches and referees, meticulously guided by our calendar of events. Collaboration with the Botswana Football Association (BFA) has proven instrumental, as BFA contributes technical expertise, accommodation, training facilities, and equipment. This partnership forms an essential foundation for the holistic development of sports. Crucially, BOTESSA's impact extends beyond the sports arena, reaching into the lives of young people pursuing tertiary education. By fostering an environment where talents are identified, honed, and showcased, BOTESSA plays a pivotal role in moulding the character and skills of these aspiring athletes.
Comprising universities, colleges of education, institutes of health sciences, and technical colleges, BOTESSA stands as a beacon for the positive influence sports can have on the lives of tertiary students, shaping their athletic abilities and contributing to their personal and professional growth.
