Gaborone United is on course to pocket the P1 million while Township Rollers could get the runners-up cheque. During Saturday’s meeting, the BFL resolved to adopt an Operational Plan meant to guide the operations of the clubs.
An agreement with the Footballers Union of Botswana was also approved as the BFL seeks to strengthen dialogue and ensure the views of professional players are considered.
