Banyana Banyana Gear Up For 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup! The much-anticipated event is set to kick off next month.
Banyana Banyana are preparing for the 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup. They were hosted by Brand South Africa, to wish them well ahead of the showpiece event.
The national team secured passage to the World Cup after their performances at WAFCON last year, winning the tournament by beating Morocco in the final. They are headed to their second consecutive FIFA World Cup Finals.
Banyana Banyana were hosted for breakfast by Brand South Africa.
“The South African senior women’s national team was on Wednesday (21 June 2023) hosted by Brand South Africa ahead of the team’s departure to the 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup to be co-hosted in Australia and New Zealand,” SAFA announced.
“The reigning Women’s Africa Cup of Nations champions reported for their selection and preparation camp on 12 June 2023 and have been going through a series of training sessions and other activities ahead of coach Desiree Ellis’ final squad announcement this coming Friday (23 June 2023).”
They are in Group G, where they are paired against Sweden, Italy and Argentina.
“You cannot talk about football brand in South Africa without recognising the centrality of Banyana Banyana,” SAFA President Danny Jordaan elaborated.
“They used to say Bafana Bafana first and then Banyana Banyana but now I think we say Banyana first and then Bafana. This shows the tremendous progress over a period of time by our senior women’s national team.
“Brand South Africa must travel with the team to Australia and New Zealand to make sure that Banyana Banyana is visible to the audience during the FIFA Women’s World Cup.” He concluded.
Head coach Desiree Ellis will announce her final squad today. Banyana Banyana Gear Up For 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup!
