New fees, tougher rules for athletics

The development comes on the back continued growth of athletics in Botswana, prompting the national governing body to step up its monitoring and regulation of the sport. Amongst the resolutions, adopted at the BAA 2026 Annual General Meeting (AGM), is the introduction of a P20 registration fee per competition for athletes from the coming season.

New members will also be required to pay a P2,000 application fee, whilst annual subscription fees have been set at P500.
