The Zebras will play 2012 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) hosts Equatorial Guinea on October 12 in a friendly international in Gaborone.

 The match will be played 10 days before the Zebras visit reigning African champions, Egypt, in Cairo for another preparatory tie for the AFCON 2012 qualifiers.

For the Equatorial Guinea match, the Zebras will be without coach Stanley Tshosane who will be in Egypt for a workshop. Botswana Football Association (BFA) technical director, Sonnyboy Sethibe, said he will be travelling to Cairo, together with Tshosane on October 11 for the workshop. They return on October 16. The Cairo workshop is meant to review this year's AFCON, hosted by Angola and the World Cup, which was held in Africa for the first time in June/July. Although he will be absent for the Equatorial Guinea tie, Tshosane has reportedly sought the release of South African-based Zebras' players.
