Sep 14, 2017

Over the past few months there have been a series of meetings between BFA, the Ministry and BNSC to discuss unpaid wages of national team players. The three parties believe clearing the Zebras debt is a key step in keeping and having happy players, and also redeeming the association’s image and pride.

“For sometime now we have had the organization being blamed for owing the zebras large amounts of money, I can confidently tell you that due to the persistence of BFA president and secretariat the zebras players have continued to receive their owed monies, “said BFA spokes person Tumo Mpatane.

Mpatane welcomed the positive move as it will move the association forward, restoring dignity to the association.

“We need batswana to believe in us and work with us to achieve the goal together this is not Maclean thing alone its all of us as a nation. “

The spokes person highlighted that players should invest the money well in order to richly enjoy their rewards. Hhe further edged players to trust the association again as this is a new path and they must focus now on wining games and playing football.
