Football could return in a month-BFA

This follows the Ministry of Youth Empowerment, Sport and Culture Development's decision to allow training and playing of competitive sports from June 1. However, the ministry has emphasised that training should be done behind closed doors as the government continues to ease movement restrictions. The move will affect the Botswana Premier League (BPL) and First Division Leagues.  

"We are waiting on our medical team. They are making guidelines on how football will return competitively. The medical team has representatives from all league competitions, women's football and even the FUB (Footballers Union of Botswana). The guidelines are ready. They just need to refine them so that they can suit football. They are to be approved by NEC (National Executive Committee). I think this will give us time up to a month before we could have football played again. We are yet to have set date. We would communicate once the medical team is done with preparing guidelines," BFA chief executive officer, Mfolo Mfolo said.
