Under-23 arrive in Blantyre

Nov 20, 2018

The National Under 23 yesterday landed safely in Blantyre Malawi, however, the team was without some of its luggage as the Airline had lost it in transit to Blantyre.

The lost bags include the kit bag which the team was going to use, however, the team has subsequently made a plan B to use another Kit to play with.

The nation is therefore informed that the Dream team will use a different kit, the one show in the picture. We have consulted our technical sponsor on the challenge faced and are all clear with the kit we have from the officiating team.

Kickoff is 1430 at Kamuzu Stadium, Blantyre

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.
