League start date uncertain

Earlier this week, the government and the Botswana Football Association (BFA) issued statements confirming the resumption of activities after a three-week break. “We will give a press release on the development as soon as we are ready. Lifting of suspension was only done yesterday (Tuesday) and preparatory meetings are underway and communication will be shared,” Ramochotlhwane said on Wednesday.

On Tuesday, Gaborone United (GU) director, Nicholas Zakhem had said clubs received communication from the BFL that the league will resume on September 24, 2021. Zakhem, who is also a director in the recently formed BFL, said after more than a year and a half of no league football, it is impractical for the league to resume in two weeks' time. He said it will take a recovery period of at least six weeks to get the players ready for competitive action after a couple of false starts.
