4 February 2026 – SASOL Banyana Banyana coach Dr Desiree Ellis has announced a 38-member squad in preparation for an Alignment camp for the COSAFA Women’s Championship and the Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON).

The team will go into camp on Friday, 13 February 2026 in preparation for the two tournaments to be played this year. The WAFCON is scheduled to take place in Morocco from 17-3 April 2026, while the COSAFA Women’s Championship will be held in Polokwane, South Africa, from 18 February – 1 March 2026.

The international-based players will join the camp on 25 February 2026 when the FIFA window begins.
