Football in Botswana
Football is clearly the number one sport in Botswana.[1][2][3][4] By October 2007 there are about 348 men’s clubs registered while only nine women's clubs have been registered. The national team has not yet enjoyed any tangible success on the field.[5] In January 2008 Botswana reached number 101 on the FIFA/Coca-Cola World Ranking. They have less than a handful of players based outside their country (the most famous being forward Dipsy Selolwane).[6]
