In a circular to affiliates signed by BFA chief executive officer (CEO) Goabaone Taylor, the delegates will hold a physical meeting following the lifting of COVID-19 restrictions. “The State of Emergency came to an end on September 30, 2021. There are no longer restrictions on travel and physical meetings. The BFA and its members have not met physically in two years and in light of the above, a physical meeting would be appropriate to prepare for the return of football activities,” the circular reads.
The decision was taken following a meeting of the National Executive Committee last week. The OGA was scheduled for tomorrow but a decision was taken to push it to next month. It was initially supposed to be a virtual meeting but with restrictions lifted the BFA will have a physical meeting in 24 months. While fireworks would have been expected at the general assembly, ambers have died down in recent days, after Nicholas Zakhem toned on his public criticism of the association. Both Letshwiti and Zakhem attended the NEC meeting and the two were pictured together during the Orapa United and Coton Sport CAF Confederations Cup. Zakhem indicated he is working well with Letshwiti as they thrive "for a better football". “We are both striving for a better football although we might differ in the implementation methods.
