Last weekend I came back from sunny and warm Botswana. I was there to conduct the first FIFA Futsal Course. In total there were 20 students; 18 men and 2 women.
As this was totally new for Botswana, all students were Football coaches. This is how we also started in the Netherlands years ago. Now it’s up to the Botswana Football Association if they will bear and support the development of Futsal.
A problem could be the infrastructure. For example the practical sessions I had to conduct at a football field. It won’t be the students fault; they were very enthusiastic! Let’s see how they will follow up.
