Talking football: BFL delegates during last weekend’s AGM PIC: MORERI SEJAKGOMO

A deadlock in the adoption of a new constitution amongst Botswana Football League (BFL) members has caused a delay in the start of the 2023-2024 season which is now expected to kick off in October.

The new season was supposed to kick off on the weekend of September 16 but the BFL General Assembly decided to push the start dates to the weekend of October 7.

The teams will wait for a further three weeks and once again, a late start looms. “It comes to the fore that the recent BFL General Assembly held on September 2, could not adopt in time some key documents, which are instrumental in guarding the organisation forward. As a result, a Special General Assembly will be held on September 22, 2023, to amongst other things, adopt the new BFL constitution,” a statement from BFL reads.
