South Africa’s women’s national team coach, Desiree Ellis, has voiced her belief that Banyana Banyana can overcome Nigeria’s Super Falcons in their semi-final match at the 2024 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON). The two teams will face off on Tuesday in a high-stakes encounter, with Ellis drawing confidence from her side’s 1-0 victory over Nigeria in their last WAFCON meeting three years ago.
Speaking to CAFonline, Ellis emphasized her team’s readiness, saying, *“We understand the significance of this game. We’ve beaten Nigeria before, and we know how to do it again.”* Her remarks highlight Banyana Banyana’s determination to repeat their past success despite Nigeria’s historical dominance in head-to-head clashes.
South Africa booked their semi-final place after a hard-fought 4-1 penalty shootout win against Senegal, while Nigeria stormed into the last four with an emphatic 5-0 victory over Zambia’s Copper Queens. The match promises to be a fiercely contested battle as both teams aim for a spot in the tournament final.
