Statement On Match Fixing Allegations

Nov 12, 2019

The Botswana Football Association (the Association) is disturbed by the match-fixing allegations making rounds in the media. It has been reported by various media outlets that a certain Botswana Premier League Club official bought or attempted to buy games from opponents.

The Association will institute a full-blown investigation into the allegations. If there is any modicum of truth in the allegations, the perpetrators will be brought to book.

Match-fixing eradicates the credibility of the sport and deprives us of the very entertaining aspect of football – the unpredictability. The Association will, therefore, do everything possible to close all gaps that may present an opportunity to unscrupulous individuals to buy games.
