Zebras started their 2023 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifying journey with a slender 1-0 defeat away in Libya.

Salah Taher scored in the 56th minute to hand the Libyans the win in the Group J match played Martyrs of Bnina in Benghazi.

The game was a closely contested match until the Libyan’s got what seems a very soft penalty on the 55th minute. The shot stopper Goitseone phoko saved the penalty but was beaten by a follow up shot.

The mighty Zebras now shift their attention to the favourites in the group being Tunisia, who will trip to Francistown to face a wounded Zebras outfit.

The zebras will fancy chances against Tunisia who line up against Equatorial Guinea on Thurday night before heading to Botswana.

A game between Botswana and Tunisia will be played at Obed Itani chilume Stadium on Sunday 5th June 2022 and tickets are on sale at spar stores and webtickets across the country.

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.
