22 November 2024 – African champions Banyana Banyana have learned their fate in next year’s CAF Women’s Africa Cup of Nations after the draw for the continental tournament was conducted in Sale, Morocco, on Friday night.

The tournament will be held in Morocco and the Sasol-sponsored South African senior women’s national team was drawn in Group C where they will face Ghana, Mali and Tanzania.

“It is not going to be easy, past results mean nothing. Now that we know who our opponents are, we can start preparing and getting ready for the WAFCON as African champions,” the Banyana Banyana coach said.

Dr Ellis led the South African senior women’s national team to the continental title in 2022 in Morocco and she will be hoping to defend the title in the same country next year. The tournament was supposed to be played this year but was postponed to 2025 as it clashed with the Olympic Games held in Paris from 6 July – 11 August 2024. The event will take place between 5 – 26 July 2025 and Banyana Banyana will be gunning for a repeat of their heroics.

Banyana Banyana will assemble in Johannesburg on Monday, 25 November 2024 just days after Dr Ellis announced the team to face the Reggae Queens of Jamaica in two away international friendly in the coming days.

The African champions will face the Reggae Girlz in Montego Bay on 29 November 2024 and 2 November 2024 as part of their preparations for the WAFCON.

South African Football: Itumeleng Khune is known as one of the best goalkeepers in the team’s history.
