The Zebras, who are preparing for their Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) debut, held a series of meetings with the country's football mother body last week as a follow-up to their remuneration proposal submitted in November last year.But BFA insisted there was no money to meet the players' demands, which included P100, 000 for each squad member who makes the trip to Gabon-Equatorial Guinea AFCON finals.

In an interview with Mmegi Sport on Monday before the team's departure to Cameroon, where the Zebras will acclimatise for 10 days, Selolwane said BFA should have approached Batswana, the corporate sector and other football stakeholders to source funds to reward the players for the historic feat. The SuperSport United star said they were going to the continental showpiece 'with not even a quarter of their proposal'.
