In an interview with Informative Sport on Wednesday Phasumane enlightened that Bantu FC after being informed of the<\/p>\n<p>suspension of all football games by the Lesotho Football Association (LeFA), had decided to release the players but dealt with procedures that would help the<\/p>\n<p>team to carry on. Asked about these strategies, Phasumane said; \u201cBantu FC\u2019s 5 foreign players from the neighboring country South Africa (SA), including the local ones who reside at<\/p>\n<p>the Mafeteng camp have been discharged by the team. At the moment the team is in disperse but Bantu FC technical team has formulated some online training<\/p>\n<p>programs that assist and connect the players with management to strengthen their communication, share work experiences and also for the players to exchange their daily performances while away from the team,\u201d Phasumane stated.<\/p>\n<p>He further showed that online training strategy works wonders for the team as they had previously used it during the first suspension of sports activities.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo far, Bantu FC technical team does not experience any difficulty with the use of<\/p>\n<p>this approach. At first, it became a success since the team managed to attend the Confederation of the African Football (CAF) Champions league competitions<\/p>\n<p>through it, that is why the team is bringing the same strategy into play again,\u201d Bantu FC CMM revealed. Phasumane added that other than the team\u2019s sponsors who are always supportive, another strategy<\/p>\n<p>that Bantu FC National Executive Committee (NEC) has already embarked on is Bantu FC Trust Fund that became so helpful earlier. \u201cBantu FC is requesting<\/p>\n<p>financial assistance from the team\u2019s supporters from all its 15 branches in most of the country\u2019s districts including Maseru, Mafeteng, Mohale\u2019s Hoek,<\/p>\n<p>Quthing, Butha-Buthe and Qacha\u2019s Nek. Bantu FC Trust Fund is mainly practical in various works of the team including support for the well being of the players, players\u2019 payments and also act as supporters\u2019 burial insurance,\u201d he noted.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/lesotho\">Lesotho<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Lesotho.
