Zebras Off To A Good Start

With six points, the team currently leads Group K. This is against expectations, considering that Botswana is in the same group as Tunisia and Togo, both of which have participated in the Africa Cup of Nations before, Togo going even further to the World Cup finals. It is against this background that Botswana is decidedly the underdog of Group K.

The Zebras did well to win their first match against much-fancied opponents, Tunisia, in their first game. They capped the good start to the campaign by winning against Chad over the weekend, piquing new levels of support and excitement while banishing sniggering that Tunis was nothing but a stroke of luck.
