As things stand, if the Brazilians finish in the same position, they will be forced to participate in the promotion play-offs with Miscellaneous and Jwaneng Comets. But if Fighters get maximum points in the three games, either Nico United or BMC might be fighting tooth and nail to avoid the chop. Things took a turn for the worse when the Botswana Defence Force (BDF) stopped financial support to the Brazilians who are failing to establish themselves as they did eight years ago when the team was a force to reckon with. Then, under tactician David Bright and led by captain Masego 'Abedi' Ntshingane, Fighters won everything on offer.
This season, the former giants have been blowing hot and cold and some football pundits have written their obituary. The situation is not helped by reports that some officials and fans have lost faith. But one man who still remains hopeful that Fighters will survive is technical director and former coach Letang 'Rasta' Kgengwenyane.
