As a part of its continued efforts to develop and equip local coaches with necessary skills, the association (BFA) is conducting a 10 days CAF A coaching licence course this week.

The main objective of the course is to provide the course participants with a new techno-tactical knowledge and tactics of understanding the game. The course is divided into five phases of and will end in February 20223.

In his opening remarks, BFA CEO Mfolo Mfolo reiterated the BFA’s commitment to technical development of coaches as a means of advancing the local game. He urged this first cohort to be trained locally to take forth the knowledge that they will gain from this training course and impart it to their colleagues at the grassroots level.

“I hope that you will take lessons from this training course and share with your colleagues at the grassroots. The only way for us to get our game to grow is when we remember to empower the grassroots and youth coaches who are very important stakeholders,” he said.

He concluded by announcing that among the participants, four of them will be selected to become certified coach educators for the CAF “A LICENSE” instructors under the mentorship of an experienced senior instructor.

“This means that the next batch of local coaches will be trained by some of you here today. This is a momentous moment in the development and growth of the game,” concluded Mfolo.

Speaking on behalf of the course participants, Course Captain Kaelo Kaelo stated that this course was held at a time when a lot was happening. He added that this course will enable them to improve our local game.

“I am very sure that with this course we will improve our local game because the things we learned here are of a high standard, very new and fresh, and we will be able to pass on the knowledge to our clubs,” said Kaelo.

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.
