Bots to host women’s softball World Cup qualifiers
Botswana softball hit a huge home run on Tuesday, winning the rights to host next year’s African Women’s World Cup qualifiers in a victory predicted to have farreaching consequences for the sport locally.
Beating off stiff competition from Uganda, Team BW’S bid impressed the World Baseball Softball Confederation (WBSC) enough to be granted hosting honours for the first time in the country’s history.
Seven African nations will descend on Gaborone between 6th - 10th February for the tournament, with games to be played at the National Diamond and University of Botswana (UB) grounds.
