The BPL attended a workshop hosted by the PSL on a wide array of issues.
The BPL delegation was led by its Chairman, Michael Molefe.
“The PSL is a real inspiration to us,” Molefe said.
“With the PSL ranked amongst the top 10 Leagues in the world, we can learn a tremendous amount from our South African brothers on how to run an efficient and professional league.”
The BPL were exposed to the day to day running's of the PSL and were also briefed on issues surrounding finance, marketing, security, media and communication, match day organizations and corporate governance.
“It's really important that we find out more on these issues and how to equip ourselves especially since we are starting to get more funding in Botswana for our League,” Molefe explained.
The BPL's visit follows that of the Nigerian and Kenyan Football League in recent times.
“We are here to help our counterparts on the African continent,” said Siem
“It's always good to meet up and make new friends in the football family and I trust that the BPL delegation will leave South Africa full of knowledge and can implement what they've learnt immediately.”
Last night, the BPL attended the Absa Premiership match between Bidvest Wits and SuperSport United and were party to all aspects of the match organization and pre-match meeting.
Tomorrow, the BPL will visit Mamelodi Sundowns, Bidvest Wits and Kaizer Chiefs to get an idea of how clubs do their business.
PSL Chairman, Dr Irvin Khoza, took time out of his busy schedule to address the BPL during the workshop and wished them the best of luck for the future.
