BFA To Meet Over Football Suspension

The Government Gazette on Saturday revealed the latest COVID-19 restrictions which include the suspension of sports and recreation  much to the disappointment of football fans who eagerly anticipated football return this month.

The BFA has been engaging stakeholders, which include the Ministry of Youth Empowerment, Sport and Culture Development (MYSC) as well as the Botswana National Sports Commission (BNSC) over a safe return to competitive football. Expectations have been that the season would finally kick off this month with the Orange FA Cup quarterfinals, but the latest suspension has once again dampened spirits of those who had looked forward to the return of local football. BFA acting chief executive officer, Thabiso Gobotsamang yesterday said the association will have to meet and map the way forward following the latest developments.
