Playing hardball: Some clubs are threatening a boycott PIC: PHATSIMO KAPENG

The Botswana Football League (BFL) is not moved by threats from some clubs to boycott matches over the decision to cut teams from 16 to 12.

There has been an outcry over the decision by the BFL to trim teams in the Premier League. The move will kick in at the end of the current season, with four teams facing the drop while only two will be promoted.

This will mean 14 teams will compete in the 2024/2025 season, but four will drop to the First Division at the end of that campaign. This will see two promoted, reaching the BFL target of having 12 Premier League teams at the start of the 2025/2026 season.
