Women’s Senior Team off to South Africa

The Botswana women’s senior national team left for Johannesburg, South Africa this afternoon at Lekidi Football Centre where they are expected to play a friendly match against archrivals, Banyana Banyana. Their calendar opens ahead with a mammoth task of competing in the Africa Women’s Cup of Nations (AWCON) qualifiers that start in June 2021, where they will face our neighbors in the west, Namibia in the first round.
 
Coach Gaolethoo Nkutlwisang is using the friendlies ahead of the June’s first round of the qualifiers to sharpen her squad.
Relying on their triumphs and exceptional performances, the team would have to play four matches to reach the coveted African spectacle which will be played in Morocco next year, 2022.
