Gabz Rising Stars

Well-done to our players that got selected for the next Re Ba Bona Ha Camp.

"The first step towards a new beginning is believing you deserve it."

Success is best when it is shared🤲🏾...

A high work ethic, adaptability and a good attitude can take you to a place where good luck will find you.

The best teams are built on culture, enjoyment, standards and mentality- they are clear.

Undoubtedly, as with any other type of performance, the end result does not depend on short-term planning or last-minute effort, but rather on building “the house” well reinforced from the ground up.

The Gaborone Youth Tournament provides us an opportunity to better our game model, test our mental resilience and enhancing our social skills against some of the best youth academies in country.

Nothing is impossible with the right mindset. This is the standard we expect and develop into our players every day at as we aim to shape our young players into confident, committed footballers-both on and off the field.

Every small action, every decision, every moment of your effort is shaping the future you want. Progress isn't loud, but it's always working...

Thank you Black Antelopes Football Academy for hosting our Under 15's. The experience and exposure was invaluable...

GABZ RISING STARS FINISHED RUNNERS UP IN THE 2025 UNDER 21 KAPP CUP CHALLENGE

The tournament, in its second edition drew some of the best teams in the South of the country. A competitive, high intensity, physically, mentally, technically and tactically demanding tournament that also needed good management of recovery between games.

Though we finished runners up with all teams equal on group points, goal difference, goals scored, head to head...it had to then be decided on Fair play record.

Our Future Stars showed good maturity and excellent tactical application, considering that we played against experienced teams with different game models-mostly direct. With the scorching heat in effect our aim was to dominate the critical phases and keep the opposition on a back foot.

We are Thankful to the organisers and sponsors of the Kapp Under 21 Cup Challenge, it offered our players good exposure and experience.
