Botswana and Eswatini are set to play a friendly match on October 16th, despite an earlier announcement by the Zimbabwe Football Association (ZIFA) that Zimbabwe would host Botswana on October 14th. The Botswana Football Association (BFA) confirmed the match with Eswatini on their Facebook page. This implies that Botswana will not play against Zimbabwe as originally planned, as they would have to play two matches in 48 hours in different countries. An official from the BFA expressed unawareness of the proposed match against Zimbabwe.
