Women Football Strategy 2019

Jun 22, 2020

Women Football was established in 1998 by six teams from Gaborone. A competitive league was formed in the year 2000,where teams registered with Botswana Football Association to start women’s’ league. The league grew from strength to strength and found its first sponsor AT & T Monnakgotla who sponsored from 2010 until 2013.

In 2004, a decision was made by women’s’ committee to divide the league into Super league and first division north as it had a large number of teams. Super league remained with twelve teams and first division with nine teams in 2015. Other regions such as Chobe, Palapye, Franstown, Kasane , Tsabong and Selebi Phikwe
joined and played tournaments in their own regions.

The women’s league were run and administered by the National Women’s Football Committee which was first elected before the start of season 2014/2015.
