BFA dismiss ‘reckless’ WASBO statement

The Mares are in Morocco for the Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON) finals and kick off their debut campaign against Burundi tonight. WASBO, in a statement released earlier today, hit at the BFA for excluding women football leaders from the trip.

“While we are rallying behind The Mares 100percent and wishing them the best with the tournament, it will be unjust of us not to convey our disappointment in the assembled male management that has accompanied the team to Morocco without the inclusion of the capable women football managers despite the Botswana Football Association (BFA) having women in football structures and women in football leadership g and having sun the women empowerment song for some years now,” reads WASBO’s statement.
