"It's an exciting chapter in the vision of Real Betis Academy in Zimbabwe, Rudo will bring a lot of experience, mentorship and leadership skills to all our players both boys and girls.

“We are very happy to see the formation of our girls’ teams, we can't wait to see girls around our national regions enjoy their football dreams and develop their talent through the methodology of our club Real Betis," chairman Gerald Sibanda said.
