Botswana achieved athletics history when their men's 4x400m relay squad captured gold at the Tokyo World Championships. Lee Bhekimpilo Eppie, Letsile Tebogo, Bayapo Ndori and Busang Collen Kebinatshipi crossed the finish line at 2:57.76 seconds. The United States and South Africa claimed second and third positions respectively. This victory marks the first time an African nation has secured the world championship title in this event. President Duma Gideon Boko responded by declaring 29 September 2025 a national public holiday.

The Southern African nation recorded their most successful championships performance ever. Athletes earned two gold medals, one silver medal and one bronze medal during the competition. Botswana placed fifth in the overall standings, representing their highest global ranking to date. Collen Kebinatshipi contributed an individual gold medal while Bayapo Ndori earned silver in the 400-meter race. The president praised the team for bringing international recognition to their country.
