BFL Postpones League Start Yet Again

The league was originally scheduled to begin this weekend but has since been moved to a week later. The BFL chief executive officer (CEO), Solomon Ramochotlhwane announced that the league will now commence on October 30. The decision, he said, was taken in consideration that players aged below 30 years will be vaccinated from tomorrow until Thursday.

The newly appointed BFL board chairperson, Nicholas Zakhem last week told the sister publication, Mmegi that the new board is pushing for vaccination of all players and technical staff before the season can kick-off. “Our immediate priority as the board is to vaccinate all our players and technical bench before we can engage in competitive football,” he said. The BFL CEO has since released a statement confirming the new kick-off date and that this week will be used to vaccinate players who are under the age of 30. The Ministry of Health and Wellness has been rolling out vaccination of people whose age range from 30 years and above in the last few weeks.
