Gaborone, May 19, 2026 — The 2025/26 FNB Premiership season will reach its climax this Saturday when Gaborone United host BDF XI at the Gaborone United Stadium, with kick-off set for 15h00.

Thousands of supporters are expected to pack the venue for the season finale, which will crown the champions and close another thrilling chapter in Botswana’s top-flight football.

Now in its second year, the FNB Premiership has grown in stature, delivering memorable football moments while strengthening ties between clubs, supporters, and communities.
