Southern African football fans are set for a thrilling regional showcase later this month, after Mukuru was confirmed as the title sponsor of the upcoming Four Nations Tournament in Francistown, Botswana.

The competition will run from March 28 to 31, 2026, at Obed Itani Chilume Stadium, bringing together four national teams: Botswana, Malawi, Zambia, and Zimbabwe. Organisers say the tournament is designed to celebrate regional football while providing teams with valuable competitive match experience. Attention is now turning to the official draw, scheduled for March 24, which will be broadcast live on SuperSport. The draw will determine fixtures and kickstart the countdown to the tournament.

In a statement released on March 19, Mukuru said its sponsorship reflects a commitment to supporting sport and community engagement across Southern Africa.

“The competition… promises to deliver an exciting celebration of Southern African football,” the statement read.

The Four Nations Tournament is expected to showcase both established and emerging talent from across the region, with national teams using the platform to test combinations and build momentum ahead of future international competitions.

Matches will be played at a single venue in Francistown, offering fans a compact and high-energy football experience over four days. Regional tournaments such as this have become increasingly important in strengthening football development and fostering unity among neighbouring countries. For Zimbabwe, the competition offers an opportunity to assess squad depth and refine tactics against familiar regional rivals, while Botswana, as hosts, will look to capitalise on home support.

With anticipation building, fans across the region will be watching closely as the draw sets the stage for what promises to be an entertaining and competitive tournament.
