Botswana women's national football all time team results
This article lists the results and fixtures for the Botswana women's national football team.[1]
The Botswana women's national football team, known by its official nickname, The Mares, represents Botswana in women's football. Governed by the Botswana Football Association (BFA), the team competes as a member of the Confederation of African Football (CAF).
The team made its international debut in 2002, participating in the inaugural 2002 COSAFA Women's Championship in Zimbabwe. In their first-ever match, they suffered a 14–0 defeat to South Africa on 19 April 2002, which remains their biggest loss to date.[2] Their largest victory came on 29 September 2021, when they defeated South Sudan 7–0 during the 2021 COSAFA Women's Championship.[3]
Until 2024, the team only competed against African opponents. Their first match against a non-African team was on 27 February 2024, facing Russia in their first game outside Africa, which ended in a 4–0 loss.[4]
