Game on: Women football will kick-off at regional level

In the midst of a Botswana Football Association’s (BFA) financial scandal over mismanagement of FIFA women football funds, the women's league season will go ahead uninterrupted with the winners pocketing P25,000.

This week, acting BFA chief executive officer, Tshepo Mphukhuti wrote to the clubs informing them that the leagues will kick off in February and run until the second week of May under the Diamond Trading Company Botswana (DTCB) sponsorship.

The DTCB and BFA penned a three-year sponsorship deal for women’s football leagues worth P2.43 million and was initially to be in place at the start of the 2021/2022 season. The 2021/2022 DTCB Women Football League will, however, be played in just seven of the 17 regions, with 55 teams registered to play. In the letter, Mphukhuti said the women league football will once again be played at regional level. He said the regional champions will play for a national title in format to be decided.
