A CAF inspection visit to Gaborone this week has reignited hopes that the National Stadium could regain continental approval to host international matches. The BFA is pushing for Category Three status, which would allow national teams and local clubs to host CAF interclub competitions at home, easing pressure on Francistown's Obed Itani Chilume Stadium, currently the country's only CAF-certified venue.
Botswana Football Association president Tariq Babitseng told the association's ordinary general assembly that grassroots development is essential for improving the national sport's international impact and professional operations, stressing the need to create pathways for young players to develop. The assembly, themed "From Grassroots to Greatness," coincided with the BFA's 60th anniversary, with Babitseng calling on the association to consider its legacy for the next generation.

The Botswana Football Association, led by newly elected COSAFA president Tariq Babitseng, is implementing the BFA Impact Programme, a comprehensive initiative to overhaul governance, funding, and development of football across the nation. The programme introduces a tiered classification system for Regional Football Associations, categorizing them as Tier 1 (high capacity), Tier 2 (emerging), or Tier 3 (development), with tailored development responsibilities for each tier.
Babitseng will become COSAFA president following an elective congress on Sunday, succeeding Artur de Almeida e Silva who has held the position since 2022. The BFA described the appointment as a transformation for Botswana football.
Babitseng has submitted his candidature for COSAFA presidency unopposed and expects support from all 14 member nations. If elected, he plans to bring in more partners for the regional body and rotate regional competitions among member countries.
