Live commentary: Nigeria vs South Africa – Olympic qualifiers

Nigeria’s Super Falcons are set to clash with South Africa’s Banyana Banyana in the first leg of the final qualifying playoff for the 2024 Paris Olympic Games.

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.

Despite Nigeria’s formidable reputation and their unbeaten record in their last 12 matches, South Africa poses a significant challenge. Both teams are poised for a fierce battle, with power, talent, and desire on full display.
