September 11 fails to end 545-days wait

A fourth crashed in rural Pennsylvania. The deadliest terror attack left tonnes of rubble, nearly 3,000 dead and hundred others injured. The date, 9/11 has, since 2001, gained new significance on the calendar. It could have been a coincidence that football authorities picked September 11 as the date local football is supposed to return.

From what happened on what is now infamously referred as to 9/11, nothing positive is expected on this day. And nothing positive in terms of local football return is expected on September 11. In July, as new optimism rose that football is finally on its way back, the Botswana Football League said all the right things to a thirsty fraternity.
