Botswana Football Association President Maclean Letshwiti say the opportunity to host the 2027 African Cup of Nations will open an avenue of opportunities for the economy and the people of Botswana and Namibia.

Speaking at the Signing of the Memorandum of Agreement between the Governments of Botswana and Namibia the BFA boss said “should we become successful in this bid, the legacy that will be inherited by the two nations will be unprecedented. Our two countries will be gifted an automatic opportunity to compete at the highest level in football and against the very best in Africa. The legacy of infrastructure development, information technology, sports science and medicine, tourism, economic and social cohesion, job creation, science and technology will be palpable, and indelible.’’

The BFA president who also serves on the CAF Executive Committee and is also Head of CAF Competitions Committee went on to highlight that Although he will have first-hand information on expectations of CAF as far as AFCON and other competitions run by CAF are concerned, his influence on the outcome of the AFCON 2027 Bid will be very limited.

Letshwiti called on the two countries need to work extremely hard to win the bid and that the BONA2027 bid must convincing and very robust but also very thorough in the process.

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.
