The Botswana Football League mulls introducing fines for member clubs on ‘petty crimes’ against professionalism in the game.

Speaking at the BFL club engagement session held in Gaborone on Saturday, chief executive officer, Senzo Mbatha said it is the tiniest of the things to have a professional league.

The session was to provide club members a platform to engage and share ideas to make inroads in building a professional league. The BFL invited the 16 elite league teams as Mbatha faced the member clubs for the first time since his appointment. Mbatha also said the BFL will introduce a Football Manual, documentation that outlines how to prepare and manage a match. He said clubs that fail to comply with the manual will be fined and the fine will be deducted from the league grant.
