Mexico-based forward, Hildah Magaia, is among three players who have withdrawn from the Banyana Banyana squad and will miss the upcoming two friendly matches against Senegal in Thies.
Former Banyana Banyana performance analyst and technical advisor Shilene Booysen says, while it was disappointing not to see South Africa qualify for the 2024 Olympic Games, it is not the time to cry over spilt milk.
The friendly international match between Banyana Banyana and Senegal has now been moved a day later with times and venues still to be confirmed.
South Africa’s Shilene Booysen says she is proud of the work she has put in as head coach of Wadi Degla in the Egyptian Women’s Premier League.
Banyana Banyana coach Desiree Ellis says she had a feeling two-goal hero Hildah Magaia would be the national side’s trump card in the final of the Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON) against hosts Morocco on Saturday night.
