The association had gathered the District Football Associations (DIFAs) to distribute the equipment accordingly<\/p>\n<p>at Bambatha T\u0161ita Sports Arena. Motene congratulated LeFA for taking this initiative further and showed that everyone knows that women football in the country is not up to standard and requires utmost attention.<\/p>\n<p>She said Lesotho does not perform well in its women tournaments. \u201cWomen football committee in its inspection tour around the country has found that the clubs are eager to play<\/p>\n<p>football but there is no suitable or required equipment for them more especially for the developing teams. The equipment is now available for them to improve women football in the country; and it will be transferred to the teams<\/p>\n<p>starting with the districts based in the central region and then to the north and south,\u201d Motene said. She added that after distributing equipment to all clubs, the committee will not rest; \u201cIt will ensure that the equipment is<\/p>\n<p>monitored together with the performance of the teams which need urgent support. The Women Super League has to be competitive, so that we have active tournaments in the districts to improve our women football,\u201d said the President<\/p>\n<p>of the Lesotho Women Football Committee. LeFA\u2019s First Vice President and Leribe DIFA President Khiba Mohoanyane appealed to the office of the Technical<\/p>\n<p>Director to visit all the 10 districts and conduct a study on the consistency of women football. \u201cI would like you to go and learn why women football clubs do<\/p>\n<p>not develop and expand. The clubs are faced with challenges of lack of the required equipment to conduct the matches this is why the association has ensured that all the equipment is provided to the teams,\u201d Mohoanyane enlightened.<\/p>\n<p>He added that the amount of money utilized to buy the provided equipment is M620 730. 00. Meanwhile LeFA\u2019s Technical Director Leslie Not\u0161i indicated that the equipment will be disbursed to 81 women teams.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThese teams were selected because they are registered with their DIFAs and were<\/p>\n<p>playing under the Women Super League last season. Each team will get 4 training balls and 2 match balls, playing kit, shin cards, bibs, markers, cones and goalkeeper gloves,\u201d Not\u0161i added.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/lesotho\">Lesotho<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Lesotho.
