Pass: The Zebras will not be in action during the upcoming FIFA week PIC: MORERI SEJAKGOMO

National football team, the Zebras, will be inactive during the upcoming FIFA international window with the Botswana Football Association (BFA) saying it is a deliberate move.

Nations that have qualified for the Africa Cup of Nations finals will be engaged during next week's FIFA date to finalise preparations for next month's AFCON finals in Morocco.
