“Our goal is to become a force to be reckoned with in international women’s football. Playing against Botswana provides another opportunity for us to sharpen our skills and get closer to our goal of finishing in the top three in the African Women’s Championships later this year. This clash against Botswana is one of those that will assist in getting the team in good condition for the AWC.” said Pauw.
