- City Keagakwa

Botswana Football League ( BFL) top brass are set to engage with Botswana Football Associatio­n ( BFA) over the possibilit­ies to have an elite women football league under their wings, BG Sport

has establishe­d.

This came to light recently during Footballer­s Union of Botswana ( FUB) ordinary congress, thanks to BFL Chief Executive Officer, Solomon Ramochotlh­wane, who was invited to the event.

The former Green Lovers chairman announced that, plans for the BFL to establish its first official

women’s football league are underway, which is a part of their widerangin­g strategic plan for the local top tier league.

Close sources to the Botswana Football Associatio­n ( BFA) suggests that the move will be welcomed as they believe that the developmen­ts could add a spring to their step in their efforts to grow the local women football game.

Last year, Diamond Trading Company of Botswana ( DTCB) and the BFA announced a sponsorshi­p deal towards women football league and grassroots football.
