The Botswana Football League (BFL) has defended a decision to deduct a certain percentage of the club's grants to fund operations at the secretariat.

On September 25, BFL chairperson, Sipho Showa, wrote to the 16 clubs' shareholders, indicating that a decision had been taken to deduct P30,000 from P200,000 due to each side.
