The Botswana Football League (BFL) chief executive officer (CEO), Solomon Ramochotlhwane has said that the new regulations dealing with players’ transfers will help curb disputes between players and clubs.

Speaking at last weekend’s Footballers Union of Botswana (FUB) elective congress, Ramochotlhwane said in the past the Players’ Status Committee has had to deal with so many cases of disputes between players and their clubs. However, he said the new regulations that will now govern the Premier League and National First Division are watertight and will be able to control misconduct from all the stakeholders, starting with the players and their intermediaries or agents.

He said the issue of intermediaries or agents has been left unattended to for some time and is partly the reason why there have been so many transfer disputes before. “It is actually exacerbated by the players. Some players would go to an extent of engaging their relatives to assist in negotiating contracts. In the end, the player will realise that the contract that they signed a few days back is not really what they had expected. And that is because they had been ill-advised.

Each of the 10 beautiful young women had supporters...
