Banyana Banyana head coach Desiree Ellis has warned her players against underestimating Tanzania as South Africa prepare to launch their bid to reclaim the CAF Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON) title in Morocco.
South Africa open their Group B campaign against Tanzania on Monday before taking on Côte d’Ivoire and Burkina Faso, with Ellis knowing a positive start could prove crucial in a tournament where the stakes extend beyond continental glory.
The four semi-finalists will secure automatic qualification for the 2027 FIFA Women’s World Cup in Brazil, making every group-stage point invaluable.
Banyana head into the tournament determined to return to the summit of African football after lifting their maiden continental title in 2022.
