South Africans are giving the reigning soccer champs a hero’s welcome at OR Tambo International Airport. Dozens of fans dressed in cheerful sports regalia braved the cold weather to give the Women’s Africa Cup of Nations title holders a warm welcome from their successful Moroccan safari. Banyana Banyana made history as the first women’s soccer team to bring home a continental title after their match against Morroco.
The players will also receive their prize money, which consists of R400 000 each for players and staff, R8.9 million from the South African Football Association and a further sum from soccer boss Danny Jordan, who pledged R9.2 million extra if Banyana won the title.
