More than a football academy.
Dinaledi means 'stars' in Setswana. Our mission is to develop them — through discipline, education and structured performance.
Building leaders. Playing football.
Dinaledi Football Academy is Botswana's first professional football academy, based in Oodi. We develop players aged 6 to 19 through a holistic high-performance environment that combines elite football development, academic growth, character building and player welfare.
We nurture technically excellent, mentally strong and socially responsible players who can compete at the highest level while representing Botswana with pride.
"At Dinaledi, we believe stars are developed through discipline, education, and structured performance. Our mission is to nurture technically excellent, mentally strong, and socially responsible players who can compete at the highest level while representing Botswana with pride. We are building more than footballers — we are shaping leaders for the future."
Eight values. One standard.
Consistency in behaviour, effort and standards.
Doing the right thing when no one is watching.
Meeting every player where they are, on and off the pitch.
Aiming higher than yesterday — always.
Owning your voice, your team and your community.
Details, repeated relentlessly, become greatness.
Show up. Do the work. Repeat.
Be the reason a younger player believes.
