Banyana Banyana starlet Nicole Michael is making a name for herself through perseverance. And at just 23, she still has much more to offer.
Nicole Michael of TS Galaxy Queens during a Hollywoodbets Super League match against Mamelodi Sundowns Ladies at Lucas Moripe Stadium in Pretoria on 6 December 2023.

Then she played a pivotal part as South AfricaThe Confederation of African Football is yet to announce the dates for the tournament. Defending champions Banyana Banyana are one of the 12 teams that have qualified.
From the onset, the Riverlea born and raised footballer showed her qualities and was not overawed by the stage she found herself on, thanks to her displays at club level. Her performances also saw her nominated for Fans’ Player of the Season in the Super League awards at the culmination of last season.

Not be nervous and do what I know,” Michael toldSo what exactly does the starlet bring to the table? Well, for one, she is faster than Superman on his way to save Lois Lane. In addition, she has a bag full of tricks that usually leave her opponents in a daze.

She, on the other hand, has taken the baton and is sprinting towards etching her name in South African football history one dribble at a time, one assist and goal at a time.“I had to make a decision on my own, that I wanted to be a professional footballer.
