The Botswana Football Association (BFA) has fired Zebras coach, Mogomotsi 'Teenage' Mpote arguing that the team was not moving in the expected direction.

In a press statement, the BFA said Mpote's successor will be announced in due course as the Zebras prepare for 'demanding' World Cup qualifiers starting next month.

"Following an internal assessment and evaluation of where the Botswana senior men's national football team is, the Zebras are currently not where we want them to be.

The BFA said the Zebras will be entering a 'difficult and demanding' period as they attempt to qualify for the 2025 AFCON and 2026 World Cup finals.
