Ellis names Banyana squad to face Netherlands

Coach Desiree Ellis has announced the Banyana Banyana squad for the International Friendly Match against the Netherlands.

South Africa will take on the Orange Lionesses in the much-awaiting friendly game on Tuesday, 12 April, in Den Haag (The Hague).

This is part of the preparations for the Africa Women’s Cup of Nations (AWCON) set to take place in Morocco in July.

Ellis has been able to recall the in-form SC Braga’s Jermaine Seoposenwe, who has been absent for quite some time in the Banyana squad. The speedy forward recently won the Portuguese League Cup with her side.

“This is part of our preparations for the AWCON, but also to test players against a higher-level opponent to assess if the players have the necessary mental strength to stay focused despite not having played any league matches this year,” said the two-time Caf Women’s Coach of the Year.

Banyana will be without the services of other players plying their trade abroad for various reasons.
