The Super Falcons boast an impressive legacy in women’s football, having dominated the African Championships and made appearances at every World Cup.

However, South Africa has emerged as a formidable opponent, claiming the WAFCON title in 2022 and showcasing their prowess at the World Cup.

Under the guidance of head coach Desiree Ellis, South Africa’s Banyana Banyana have become a force to be reckoned with, led by star forward Thembi Kgatlana. With an unbeaten streak in their last eight games, they enter the match with confidence.
