Women's Champions League gives BFA headache

The continental body has proposed that for the first time in history, an African women’s club tournament will be played this year. CAF announced it intends to kick off the preliminary qualification round between May and July. However, plans for Botswana to have representation at the tournament have been hard hit by the coronavirus (COVID-19).

Speaking to Mmegi Sport, BFA head of women’s football Tsholofelo Setlhoko said the intention is to take part, but COVID-19 has thrown spanners in the works.  The women’s league is played at a regional level and the BFA is in the process of establishing a national competition.   “We would like to play in the Women’s Champions League of course, but it is difficult to prepare for that. At the moment CAF has not communicated fully on how we are going to play the tournament.
