The fight for the coveted women's football championship throne will conclude tomorrow with the DTC Botswana Women’s Championship finals.

It is a long journey that started last year and reached almost every corner of the country. The run to the finale had a record-breaking 137 teams participating in 11 of the 17 regional leagues across the country.
