Rakgare warns BFA

Apart from FIFA, BFA gets much of its funding from the government through the Botswana National Sport Commission (BNSC) subvention. The association has in recent weeks grabbed headlines for the wrong reasons.

There have been allegations of corruption, misallocation of funds and lack of adherence to general governance standards at Lekidi. In an interview with Mmegi Sport this week, Rakgare warned the association will not get government funding if it does not put its house in order. “For the first time, I want to comment on the situation at BFA. I must say that the government is very worried about the utilisation of funds at the association.
