Red Roses decry foreign player restrictions

Red Roses, the GU's women's team, became the first local club to clinch the COSAFA qualifiers title, sealing a maiden ticket to the continental showpiece in only their second attempt. Come November, the team will line up amongst Africa’s elite at the finals, likely to be staged in Morocco or South Africa. Unlike their rivals, the Red Roses will head into the tournament with an all-local squad, the first team in the Champions League to do so.

GU director, Nicolas Zakhem, told MmegiSport this week that the Botswana Football Association (BFA) must revisit its regulations if the country is serious about competing at the highest level.
