The event, which showcased top talent in Botswana’s female football scene, served as an ideal platform for FUB to engage directly with players and promote the benefits of union membership.

FUB set up a dedicated stall at the tournament venue, where they actively recruited new members from the participating teams. The union brought along membership forms, profile sheets, and a range of educational material aimed at empowering female footballers with knowledge about their rights and players welfare.

In a continued effort to promote players' welfare across all levels of the game, FUB representatives offered guidance on key issues such as contract negotiation, injury support, financial planning, and career transition. Informative booklets and one-on-one discussions helped raise awareness about the union’s role in advocating for fair treatment, improved working conditions, and the professional development of players.

A spokesperson from FUB emphasized the importance of including more women in the union’s programs, noting that female footballers often face unique challenges both on and off the pitch.

“We believe that every footballer in Botswana deserves protection and support, regardless of gender,” said the FUB official. “By engaging with women’s teams during the DTCB Championship, we’re ensuring that female players understand their rights and the resources available to them.”

Among the clubs present was Orapa United, whose women’s team has been active in promoting female participation in football. Their players expressed enthusiasm about the opportunity to join the union and gain access to services that have traditionally benefited their male counterparts.

As the tournament concluded, many players walked away not only with memories of great football but also with a renewed sense of empowerment and the support of a union ready to stand with them.

FUB’s commitment to inclusivity and development signals a promising future for female footballers in Botswana, laying the foundation for greater advocacy and support in the years to come.
