According to the BFA chief executive officer (CEO), Goabaone Taylor, City Stars have since filed the matter with the tribunal and have been requested to submit additional documents.

The tribunal has formally received the documents and is waiting on Molepolole City to file some annexures which they made reference to in their formal request for arbitration.
