Annual General Assembly Make Progress

Aug 14, 2017

The Botswana Football Association held its Annual General Assembly over the weekend at Tlotlo Conference Centre. The Assembly agreed that some motions were not well scripted and thus the regions have been asked to re write the motions in accordance to the constitution.

The Assembly did not accept the financial statement until the BPL and BFA financial audits are merged together. The assembly believes this will give a true reflection of the financial position of the FA as a whole. Therefore a special AGA will be scheduled for early October this year.

The assembly accepted the appointment of Mrs Tshepo Mphoeng to the NEC to replace Mrs Sussy Montsho.

The FA president says he will hope to also announce the FA sponsorship soon as a sponsorship has in principle been reached. The levels of negotiations at contract negotiation and hence wants to be allowed time to finish the matter
