The state of Francistown football

In yester years, Francistown clubs particularly TASC and TAFIC mixed it with the giants of Botswana football, vying for elite league honours. The two clubs won the 2001 and 2002 Coke Cup.

By then the two clubs were organised and whenever they played the city will come to a standstill. They were followed by other clubs like Great North Tigers (GNT) and ECCO City Greens who entered the elite league. Though GNT did not fare well, ECCO became the first side from the north to win the national title in 2006.
