CALL TO RALLY BEHIND TEAM BOTSWANA AT THE 2026 COMMONWEALTH GAMES
With the 2026 Commonwealth Games fast approaching, we are issuing a passionate call to all Batswana as well as members of the broader community residing in the United Kingdom to come out in full force to support Team Botswana as they compete on the world stage in Glasgow, Scotland, from 23 July to 2 August 2026.
The Games, hosted in the iconic city of Glasgow, will bring together approximately 3,000 athletes from across the Commonwealth, competing in a streamlined programme of 10 sports and 6 para-sports. This edition of the Games promises to be a spectacular celebration of sporting excellence, unity, and friendly competition.
Team Botswana will be proudly represented by a delegation of athletes competing in five sporting codes: Athletics, Boxing, Judo, Swimming, and Lawn Bowls. The support of Batswana in the UK is crucial to the team's morale and success. Your presence in the stands, waving the blue, white, and black flag, and cheering our athletes on will provide a vital home-away-from-home advantage. Let us unite to show the world the spirit and pride of Botswana. For the daily competition schedule, please visit: -
