BFA blunders again

The Young Zebras were supposed to leave at 10am yesterday for an Olympic qualifier against Guinea on Friday night. First the blunder-prone BFA secretariat failed to process the paper work in time to secure funding for the trip. Second, the players refused to travel unless they are paid outstanding allowances after the recent match against Cameroon  in Gaborone.

The team was scheduled to board a midnight plane in Johannesburg  to Paris, France before connecting to West Africa. But by lunchtime yesterday, the BFA was still running around looking for funds to pay allowances for the players. The technical team and players loitered around Lekidi Centre in Gaborone waiting for word from the BFA.
