BFA receives P7m from FIFA

There were reports that the governing body might delay releasing the funds to the association after it emerged the BFA misallocated P6 million, which was meant for FIFA projects. A FIFA delegation was in Botswana late last year to investigate the misallocation of funds. Mmegi Sport has established that P7 million from FIFA has been deposited into BFA's account two weeks ago, a move which will come as a relief to the cash-strapped association.

It remains to be seen if the association will receive funding from government following the misuse of FIFA funds. The government recently warned that it will not give the association funds for the upcoming financial year if there is no proper accountability. Reports are that the association will not face heavy sanctions from FIFA for misallocating funds.
