As the long wait for the return of league football drags on, trouble is brewing within the Botswana Football League (BFL). The BFL is an organ established to run the elite league independently from the Botswana Football Association (BFA).

Its membership is made up of the 16 Premiership clubs. Of the 16, six have expressed their unhappiness over the status of the elite league. The six are, Gaborone United, Township Rollers, Gilport Lions, Notwane, Extension Gunners and Mogoditshane Fighters.

They will this morning brief the press on their dissatisfaction with the current elite league status. According to the briefing's invitation, the six clubs had written to the BFL board to raise concerns about the meeting that was to be held last night (September 28). At the proposed Tuesday meeting clubs were to discuss the ‘how and when’ of the return of league football. Prior to the meeting, the BFL faced a revolt from the six clubs.
