He was joined by BISA President Joshua Gaotlhobogwe.

Botswana were one of four candidates seeking to host the 2022 edition of the Summer Youth Olympic Games.

The International Olympic Committee ruled that the event should be hosted in Africa but eventually awarded it to Senegal.

Tshenyego was elected as President in October of last year.
