Continue to Sporting Codes →REGIONAL HUBS / 11CENTRAL REGIONAL SPORTING & ENTERTAINMENT HUB
H01 · CENTRAL HUB · COMPETITION + ACADEMY + EVENTS
The Central Hub becomes the district competition, academy and indoor-events anchor of the national network.
Designed to serve the central catchment with high-frequency sport, academy development, indoor events, education, commercial activation and transport-connected accessibility, the Central Regional Sporting & Entertainment Hub is the most scalable and competition-oriented of the ten regional hubs.
01 · VISION & POSITIONING
A regional hub built for high-frequency use and scalable impact.
The Central Hub is conceived as a high-utility sports and entertainment node that can host district competition, year-round training, indoor sport, school and academy activity, exhibitions, conferences and community events. It is less complex than a flagship Sports City, but more intensive and commercially active than a conventional district stadium.
02 · MASTERPLAN & HUB OSCompact, efficient and integrated.
Compact, efficient and integrated.
One regional hub, thirteen systems.
The Central Hub applies the common Bretton Sports masterplan logic at a regional-hub scale. The result is a compact but fully integrated district that combines sport, talent development, commerce, hospitality and public realm in a highly operable layout.
03 · SPORT & EVENT COREMore than one venue.
More than one venue.
A complete regional operating platform.
The venue mix is designed to ensure daily utilisation and strong event flexibility: a competition stadium, indoor arena, academy fields, community facilities, flexible event halls and public-realm spaces that support both sport and entertainment programming.
Football, athletics, ceremonies, district finals and event hosting.
Basketball, netball, volleyball, combat sport, expos and concerts.
Daily training, youth leagues, technical drills and competition warm-up environments.
Open courts, wellness, recreation and broad public access.
Markets, music, community events and district showcases.
F&B, meeting rooms, media, control functions and visitor support.
FootballAthleticsBasketballNetballVolleyballCombat SportsTennisEsportsCommunity SportSchool SportEvents
04 · TALENT & ACADEMY SYSTEM
Build a district pathway that feeds the wider national network.
The Central Hub's academy function is one of its defining roles. It provides a structured environment for youth development, coach education, officiating and athlete progression into GGSC, FSC and MSC as required.
Structured age-grade programmes, seasonal camps and development leagues.
Coach education, referee training and local technical capacity.
Screening, conditioning, recovery and performance monitoring.
Training loads, scheduling, talent records and operational insight.
05 · COMMERCIAL DISTRICTS & SPORTS ECONOMY
Use sport to activate a mixed-use district economy.
The Central Hub is deliberately commercialised. Beyond venue income, it captures retail, F&B, education, events, hospitality, small business services and local employment. This allows the hub to become a district-economy platform rather than a public asset with limited utilisation.
Food, sport retail, services and everyday commercial activity.
Visiting teams, officials, conferences and district events.
Classrooms, sports training, digital learning and youth programmes.
Maintenance, catering, events, merchandise, logistics and micro-enterprise.
Leagues, exhibitions, concerts, festivals and civic gatherings.
Construction, operations, events, sport support and hospitality jobs.
06 · CONNECTIVITY & ACCESS
Simple, efficient movement is critical to high-frequency regional use.
The Central Hub's location and access model should prioritise ease of arrival, low-friction event-day circulation, public transport compatibility and seamless servicing for district users and organisers.
High-capacity movement for event crowds and daily commuting.
Internal distribution and last-mile movement across the precinct.
Simple arrival, coach movement, parking and servicing logistics.
Potential intermodal integration with broader corridor mobility.
Human-scale movement through plazas, streets and public realm.
Teams, officials, service vehicles and operations routing.
07 · DIGITAL HUB OS & COMMANDOperate every venue.

Planned for champions.
Built for communities.
The Bretton Sports planning model treats sport as the urban anchor for a connected mixed-use destination. Every project is adapted to local context, but the development logic remains consistent across GGSC, FSC, MSC and the ten regional hubs.
Walkable, accessible and safe public environments designed around athletes, residents, visitors and communities.
Sport is integrated with education, research, enterprise, hospitality, residential and leisure uses for 365-day activity.
Land use, mobility, utilities, digital systems, blue-green infrastructure and public realm are planned as one operating system.
Low-carbon systems, climate-responsive landscape, renewable energy, water reuse and resource efficiency are embedded from concept stage.
Botswana landscape, culture and materials inform destinations engineered to international sports and city-making standards.
The same planning DNA can scale from district hub to flagship global destination without forcing identical development programmes.
