The dates initially proposed for the International Women’s Group (IWG) conference on women and sport will be revised as they clash with the 2018 soccer World, secretary general of the organisation, Game Mothibi said.

Botswana was awarded the right to host the IWG for four years in February this year.

The conference is expected to take place at Gaborone International Convention Centre (GICC) with a total number of 1200 delegates expected.
