EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative image captured by acclaimed photographer Dougie Allward, members of the Bristol City first team are seen engrossed in their pre-match warm-up routine at the pristine Botswana National Stadium in Gaborone, Botswana. The date is July 21, 2014, and the occasion is a friendly match between the English Championship side, Bristol City, and local Botswana Premier League club, Extension Gunners. The team's focused demeanor is palpable as they prepare for the upcoming clash, with each player going through their individual drills under the watchful eyes of their coaching staff. The lush, green grass of the stadium's pitch provides an idyllic backdrop to the scene, with the sun casting long, golden shadows across the field as it begins to set. Bristol City's presence in Botswana marked the culmination of their pre-season tour, which saw them play several friendly matches against various African teams as part of the Bristol City Community Trust's international development program. The tour aimed to promote football and social development initiatives in the host countries, while also providing valuable game time for the players ahead of the new season. This photograph encapsulates the essence of football as a global phenomenon, with players from two vastly different backgrounds coming together on the field in the spirit of sport and camaraderie. The image serves as a poignant reminder of the power of football to transcend borders and unite people, regardless of their cultural or geographical differences.
