 First Division North games are generally played on weekend afternoons.Since the northern parts of Botswana generally lack proper stadium facilities as compared to the south and there are therefore next to no stadiums set aside for lower league use, First Division matches are played on dusty school grounds and other community spaces, resulting in the First Division being nicknamed 'ko leroleng' or 'at the dust'.The top eight teams in the First Division North automatically qualify to play in the FA Challenge Cup.
