Midfielder Linda Motlhalo is one appearance away from reaching 100 caps for Banyana Banyana
Banyana Banyana’s quest to win a second Women's Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON) crown in three tournaments begins in Morocco this week, with continental glory, Fifa Women’s World Cup qualification and personal milestones all providing added motivation.
South Africa are among 16 nations competing at the tournament, with the top four teams securing places at next year’s Fifa Women’s World Cup in Brazil.
While coach Desiree Ellis’ immediate focus will be on retaining the title won in 2022, several members of her squad are also on the brink of significant achievements in national colours.
Midfielder Linda Motlhalo is one appearance away from reaching 100 caps for Banyana Banyana, a landmark that would place her among an elite group of South African women’s internationals.
