Botswana should bid for AFCON 2017

The Phillip Makgalemele administration had shown interest in bidding for the tournament but there were those who accused him of not consulting key stakeholders.

I however still remained hopeful that Botswana would bid for the 2016 tournament. That was before the Confederation of African Football (CAF) changed the hosting of the biennial event from even to odd years. In 2016, Botswana turns 50 and President Ian Khama will be serving his last term.
