Women Football FIFA COVID19 Relief

Sep 18, 2020

We wish to inform all our structures especially Women Football clubs that we have received the Women Football Grant from FIFA as part of the FIFA Covid 19 Relief Programme which is meant for Women Football Relief and Development as directed by FIFA.

As previously indicated in our different communications, the funds are meant for Women Football as per FIFA guidelines.

Due to the dire situations faced by Women Football teams across the country, we resolved that each Women Football team affiliated with the BFA be assisted with a lump sum of P15 500.0o to mitigate the negative effects brought about by the cessation of footballing activities.

The National Executive Committee in consultation with the Women Football Committee will share further details concerning the use and or disbursements of the Relief funds in line with guidelines released by both FIFA and the BFA as per the attached Budget Breakdown agreed with FIFA. Thank you All correspondence to the Chief Executive Officer

BFA Welcomes New Zebras Head Coach, Morena Ramoreboli

The Botswana Football Association (BFA) is proud to announce the appointment of Mr. Morena Ramoreboli as the new Head Coach of the Zebras. This marks an exciting new chapter for Botswana football, as the men’s and women’s national teams recently achieved historic qualifications for the prestigious Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) in 2025 – only the second time both teams have qualified in the same year.

Mr. Ramoreboli brings over a decade of top-level coaching experience and holds a CAF A license. His accomplishments include winning two Botswana Premier League titles and securing two CAF Champions League qualifications with Jwaneng Galaxy, achieving significant victories against teams like Orlando Pirates and Wydad Athletic Club. His familiarity with many of Botswana’s players from his time at the club level ensures a seamless transition into his new role.

The BFA has set clear targets for Mr. Ramoreboli, including progressing beyond the group stages at AFCON 2025, collecting at least 12 points in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers, qualifying for CHAN 2026, and winning the 2025 COSAFA Senior Men’s Challenge. Additionally, improving Botswana’s FIFA ranking to the top 30 in Africa is a key objective.

To achieve these goals, the BFA is committed to providing the necessary resources and support for the Zebras. The Association also calls on all Batswana to rally behind Mr. Ramoreboli and the national teams. Fans are encouraged to attend matches and create an electrifying atmosphere during the World Cup qualifiers. Plans are underway to make travel packages available for supporters to cheer on the teams in Morocco for the Women’s AFCON and in December for the men’s AFCON.

The BFA also appeals to the media to play an active role in building excitement and uniting the nation behind the Zebras and Mares. A collaborative committee will be formed to drive fan engagement and ensure widespread support.

“We are confident that with Mr. Ramoreboli’s vision, experience, and leadership, the Zebras will achieve great success. With unity and the unwavering support of the nation, there is no limit to what we can accomplish,” said the BFA President.
