The Botswana Football Association (BFA) Elections Committee has announced that the elections will take place on September 14. During a press conference in Gaborone this morning (Thursday), the Elections Committee chairperson, Moemedi Letina, stated that candidate submissions are open from today until June 25. The vetting process will commence on July 3, followed by the initial candidate list and appeal process, with the final list being released on July 29.

Additionally, there is a significant change with a reduction in the voters' list. Only 38 delegates will be eligible to vote at this year's general assembly, nearly half the number from the 2020 elections. The Botswana Football League (BFL), the national women's football committee, and 17 regional structures will each send two representatives to elect the new leadership for the next four years. BFA CEO, Mfolo Mfolo, advised that each football structure should send a chairperson and secretary-general to vote at this year's congress.

Seven positions are open: president, first vice president, second vice president, women's representative, and three additional members. "The main requirements for the president are that candidates should be between 30 and 75 years old, have no criminal record, and not have served more than three terms on the BFA national executive committee," Letina explained.
