The Botswana Football Association (BFA) has promised that women league football will be played at national league level in 2025.

The women’s league football is currently played at regional level in the country. In 2016, the BFA dismantled the then, Super League which was mainly contested by teams in the South.

Since the move, the women’s game has spread throughout the country as league football is played in all the BFA blocks in exception of the Western block.

The number of teams in the leagues has risen from 47 to 132 in just two seasons while the leagues have increased from six to 11.
