Botswana touring Slovakia ahead of Banyana clash

Botswana are currently in Slovakia as they continue their preparations to face South Africa in a 2020 African Women's Olympic qualifier later this month.

In April, the Zebras defeated Namibia 3-2 on aggregate to set-up a second-round clash with Banyana Banyana, between August 26 to September 3.

In a build-up to the showdown, coach Gaolethoo Nkutwisang leads a 23-player squad on a two-week tour of Slovakia, where they will play two friendlies.

They will face Slovak women's top-flight side Partizan Bardejov on August 7 and will take on another side four days later.

Meanwhile, the Botswana B team progressed to the Cosafa Women's Cup semi-final for the first time after a 1-1 draw with Zambia on Tuesday.
