Football is the number one sport in Botswana. It is organized by the Botswana Football Association.[1] By October 2007, there are about 348 men's clubs registered. The number of woman's teams organized in the regional leagues by the season of 2021/22 [2] is 88. The men's national team have not yet enjoyed any tangible success on the field. The women's team have achieved their greatest success by qualifying for the Africa Cup of Nations for the first time,[3] where they've reached the first knockout stage. There are less than a handful of male and female players based outside of their home country, the most famous being forward Dipsy Selolwane.
