The Botswana Football Association (BFA) technical sponsorship, All Kasi is responsible for dressing all the national teams, says BFA Chief Executive Officer, Mfolo Mfolo. The BFA chief who had been asked to detail the sponsorship agreement, indicated that: “All Kasi is in charge of dressing both senior national teams and all junior teams.”
When questioned about why the junior Under 20 team competed in COSAFA qualifiers while sporting outdated technical sponsor gear, Mfolo said that the sponsorship program is being implemented and should cover all teams by the second week of October. The local All Kasi and the BFA have previously partnered, and it is anticipated that all BFA national teams competing in upcoming events will use All Kasi uniforms.
When discussing the sponsorship’s worth, Mfolo said “The value of the sponsorship is more than just the sum of the expenses incurred or to be incurred, it is putting pride and hope back into our game, and that is priceless”.
