Banyana Banyan and Nigeria clash in the final round of Olympic Games qualification for the women’s tournament in Paris.
Thembi Kgatlana of Banyana Banyana tackled by Eneikia Lunyamila of Tanzania during their 2024 Olympics Qualifier match at Mbombela Stadium in Mbombela on 27 February, 2024.
The pair will tussle over two legs. The first round is in Abuja, Nigeria. The match takes place today and kick-off is at 6pm SA time. South Africa are eyeing an advantage that they will bring back home for the second leg, which is scheduled for 9 April at the Loftus Versfeld Stadium in Pretoria. “Even though we have played Nigeria a couple of times and recently won against them, we still need to give them the respect they deserve. They are still the undisputed African champions when you look at the number of years they have ruled the continent,” Jane added.
South Africa’s long-serving coach Ellis stated she was elated to have the duo back, saying they possess experience which cannot be bought. The 61-year-old also added a game of such magnitude makes her job slightly easier.
