FIFA DONATES REFEREES’ EQUIPMENT TO BFA WOMEN’S DEPARTMENT

Apr 4, 2023

The Women’s Football Department of Botswana Football Association (BFA) is pleased to have received support from FIFA under the League Development Programme granted last year.

The support also focuses on the development of match officials in women’s football in their respective regions to support our women’s leagues. The Women’s department was able to purchase equipment that will be shared with the Referee division to distribute through the regional committees to the regions where there is a need.

The head of the BFA Women’s Department, Ms. Tsholofelo Setlhoko, handed over the equipment to the BFA Referees Department where it was received by Referees Manager Mr. Phodiso Rasetsoga for the development of women’s football and in particular referees in the regions.

THANK YOU FIFA

The Mares Display Heart In Tri Nations Challenge

Botswana’s senior women’s national football team recently concluded their campaign in the prestigious Three Nations Challenge, hosted by South Africa from 28 May to 3 June at the Lucas Moripe Stadium. The series saw spirited competition between Botswana, South Africa, and Zambia, as teams continued their preparations for the upcoming Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON) qualifiers.

Despite narrowly missing out on the top prize, Botswana showed immense character and growth throughout the tournament. The Mares kicked off their campaign with a thrilling encounter against the African champions South Africa, narrowly going down 3-2 in a tightly contested match. The team bounced back with a determined performance against Zambia, securing a 1-1 draw and demonstrating resilience and tactical discipline.

Final Tournament Results:

South Africa 3–2 Botswana

Botswana 1–1 Zambia

South Africa 2–0 Zambia

South Africa’s Banyana Banyana were ultimately crowned champions of the series, winning both of their matches to take the top spot. The tournament offered valuable game time and experience for all participating nations, and Botswana’s technical team, led by Head Coach Alex Malete, will take key insights from these fixtures as they refine the squad for the crucial WAFCON fianals.
