Banyana coach admits WAFCON campaign did not go as planned
Banyana will now have to do it the hard way and participate in the intercontinental playoffs.
Banyana Banyana coach Desiree Ellis has admitted that their campaign at the Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON) did not go as planned. Despite being the 2022 champions, the team failed to advance past the group stage and did not qualify for the FIFA World Cup in Brazil. Ellis acknowledges that the team will now have to participate in the intercontinental playoffs starting in November, which presents a tough challenge.
However, Ellis remains optimistic, stating that the experience will give the team another opportunity to qualify for the World Cup.
