Women's Football To Get P5m FIFA Cash Boost

FIFA announced that its council has unanimously approved the fund. But it warned that there will be strict control on how the money will be spent by the member associations.

As a member association, the Botswana Football Association (BFA) will also receive its share of $1 million (about P11.7 million) as a grant. The BFA will also get $500, 000 (about P5.8 million) which will specifically go to women’s football. The decision to assist sport will go down as a major boost to local women’s football, which has been trying to make its mark on the scene. However, its growth has been significantly hampered by its limited budget because of lack of sponsorships.
