BNSC supports volleyball league with P1m sponsorship

Following a hiatus last season, the Botswana National Sports Commission (BNSC) has revitalised the National Volleyball League (NVL) Botswana with a sponsorship of P1,000,800 for this season. Speaking at a press conference in Gaborone on Thursday, BNSC director of sports development, Peaceful Seleka explained that, in the post-COVID era, the government decided to support seven struggling team sports that had faced difficulties securing sponsorships and partnership deals. Among these are Botswana Netball, Boxing, Basketball Associations and Rugby Union.

Seleka clarified that the sponsorship was not permanent due to financial constraints but was intended to help these sports take off and attract future partnerships. He said the government’s primary focus remained on broader development priorities. Additionally, Seleka announced that over the weekend, BNSC will host an indoor sports festival featuring six sports: judo, basketball, boxing, netball, volleyball, and table tennis. He said that there was room to include more sports in future events.
