FIFA to clear air on constituency tournaments

The Botswana Football Association (BFA) announced this week it expects a FIFA delegation in the country next Tuesday to discuss the tournaments. BFA chief executive officer, Keith Masters said he expects the delegation to clear the air regarding the tournaments. Volleyball and netball are other two disciplines which have publicly voiced their concerns over the tournaments, organised primarily as a recreational activity for unemployed youth. The tournaments have rubbed sports authorities the wrong way because they were introduced against their wishes. Moreover, players have left mainstream competitions to the less glamorous tournaments because of financial rewards.

The BFA argues the competition should be run under its auspices as the mother body.
