The Botswana Football Association (BFA) has made a fourth change in the technical team, appointing Odirile ‘China’ Matlhaku as the head coach of the Under-17 girls ahead of the crucial 2018 World Cup second leg encounter against Zambia in Lobatse. Kick off is at 4pm.

The team started with Temogo Benjamin as the team’s head coach, but was replaced by Boniface Lekaba prior to the team’s training camp three weeks back. Lekaba, however, did not make the first leg encounter that was played in Zambia a fortnight ago due to work commitments and his assistant, Tapaphiwa Gaebolae took over the reigns.

 Speaking at a media briefing in Gaborone yesterday, the BFA spokesperson, Tumo Mpatane said Lekaba could not return to his post due to work commitments, which meant Matlhaku comes in as the team’s head coach, while Gaebolae will serve as his assistant.
