National Dispute Resolution Chambers workshop

Apr 25, 2019

The Botswana Football Association will today hold a National Dispute Resolution Chambers workshop at Lekidi. The workshop will be held for the 16 Premiership teams. The National Dispute Resolution or NDRC, in short, was established in January 2018.

The NDRC is a body that adjudicates on contractual disputes between the clubs and players. It is also competent to hear the solidarity mechanism and training compensation.

FIFA, in realising our efforts, organised a legal seminar to formally kickstart the NDRC.

The objective of the seminar is to bring all national stakeholder being the Footballers Union, Premier league and the Association together to launch the NDRC. The stakeholder will also get an opportunity to understand the NDRC better.

FIFA will send two reps, from professional football and player status to facilitate the seminar

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.
