The consultative meeting between the Botswana Football Association (BFA) and the Botswana Premier League sides on the fate of the suspended season failed to take place over the weekend.

The meeting, which was set to discuss the current football season amidst the COVID-19 impact, was scheduled to take place this past Saturday.

According to the BFA chief executive officer (CEO), Mfolo Mfolo, they applied for permission from the health authorities to hold the meeting in order to discuss the current situation. But they have been forced to postpone it since the response has not yet arrived. He admitted though that it would be difficult to hold a meeting of more than 10 people because that would flout COVID-19 regulations. He said that might be seen as setting a bad precedence.
