History:   We are unaware of any Australian football history in the southern African nation of Botswana.

Outlook (from 2009):   Botswana neighbours South Africa, the AFL's top international priority, so it would be a natural candidate for African expansion - indeed the AFL is exploring opportunities with the Botswana government to support a FootyWILD program.
