BFA Acting Technical Director IWD Message

BFA Acting Technical Director, Dr. Carolin Braun International Womens Day Message

We need more female role models in decision-making positions. The more diversity in a group, the more success.
‘Choose To Challenge. From challenge comes change’ (UN campaign). Especially in a time, in which Gender Based Violence is increasing again, we need to challenge for a change. Let us celebrate women’s rights and achievements. Raise awareness against bias and take action for equality. Every day, not only today.

Women’s Football has grown in Botswana and national teams made history. All who actively supported this change can be proud. But now more than ever, we need to continuously work together, because it is still a long way to go. Sustainability is needed in our leagues, teams and in talent identification and development. And this implies players as well as coaches.

We need to create equal opportunities and support more females in leadership positions. Girls and women need to understand, that they can achieve everything in life and in football. The modern #GenerationEquality needs role models from all industries, politics and especially from sport and football. Football needs both, the female and the male perspective. The more diversity and different perspectives in a group (e.g. gender, age, religion or personal background), the more success. Independent if it is a coaching team, the executive board or the management of an association.

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.
