It has just had another fruitless campaign in its bid to return to the First Division next season doomed after a fourth-place finish in the Chobe Regional League. Despite a 4-0 win over Plateau on Sunday, Chobe could not overhaul leaders, Pandamatenga FC.

Club chairman, Ernest Lefatshe, said financial problems have hindered their progress to the First Division."Sometimes we struggle to buy basic equipment including kits and balls," he said. At times the club cannot honour fixtures outside Kasane. The club relies on financial assistance from it president, Jonathan Gibson and his vice, Heather Carrhartley.
