Africa-Press – Botswana. <\/strong><\/span>The National Stadium will not be available for the Gaborone derby between giants, Gaborone United and Township Rollers on May, 20.<\/b><\/p>\n

The Botswana National Sports Commission (BNSC) issued a statement informing the Botswana Football League that the National Stadium will be out of bounds on the said date as it is due to host the Botswana Defence Force Day.<\/p>\n

The venue is not available to host Botswana Premier League games from Saturday 13th of May until further notice. “The stadium will then go through a recovery process. We will advise how long the process will take after an assessment of the pitch has been done after the event,” the BNSC said in a statement. It is uncertain if the venue will host the semi finals of the Orange FA Cup on May 27.<\/p>\n
