Despite an agreement at a recent Premier League retreat, most clubs remain without offices.
Setete said a memo was sent to clubs this week reminding them about the office requirement. "We agreed during a retreat at Mokolodi that clubs should have an office before the start of the season. We are not compromising on that. No one has come to us to give reasons why they have not set-up an office," he said. He stated that clubs initially raised financial concerns but the BPL and Premier League Committee's (PLC) expectation is that all clubs should have an office.

At least eight of the 16 clubs have managed to get offices with Kgatleng side, Mochudi Centre Chiefs being the latest to join the list. Former champions, Gaborone United (GU) have probably the best run office in the Premier League. The office started with one staff member but now has four full time employees.
