The Botswana Football League (BFL) chairperson, Nicholas Zakhem has thrown his weight behind the Botswana Football Association's (BFA) decision to take back the league body's autonomy.

During a media briefing this week, Zakhem said the decision might be the solution to combat conflicts within the BFL.

“This is something that we did not want to talk about but the BFA on Friday took a decision to recall the autonomy of the BFL after their task force did investigations. And to me this is really a positive step by the BFA to recall it so that we can have our house in order,” he said.
