*FIE WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS UPDATE | DAY 2 🇭🇰🇧🇼*

Senior Men’s fencer Fencing Master Koketso Masena BW took to the piste today for Botswana.

While he didn’t proceed to the direct elimination stage, he fought hard and gave everything to represent our country with pride.

We are incredibly proud of both Koketso and Aobakwe for their strength, determination, and the experience gained on this world stage. This is just the beginning for Botswana Fencing 🤺

The team will now be preparing to head back home. We will share details on their arrival once confirmed.

*Next Mission*: We are now focused on preparing our Junior Team for the Commonwealth Games in Nigeria this August. We are still looking for sponsors and partners to help make this possible. DM us if you’d like to support our fencers.
