Teams stranded despite women�s leagues start :: Mmegi Online

After enduring a frustrating 12 months without league action, women football teams in the South East Football Association (SEFA) are faced with yet another uncertainty due to the insufficient number of teams in their region to form a league.

The Botswana Football Association (BFA) last year dismantled what was known as the Women Super League (WSL) in an effort to revamp the local women’s game. The BFA decided that women’s football would be played in the regions in an effort to accommodate all the football teams in the country as the WSL was contested by the teams in the south.

Tlokweng’s FC Ambassadors and South East Girls United (SEGU) are yet to kick ball, as they are the only two women teams in the region. The teams were set to contest in Gaborone City Football Association (GCFA) Division 1 league, but their efforts were unsuccessful. Speaking to Mmegi Sport yesterday, Kitso Masi of SEGU said his team is left to watch from the sidelines as he pointed the blame finger at the SEFA leadership.
