Banyana Banyana are set to face Botswana in an international friendly at the Tsakane Stadium ahead of the upcoming 2023 Fifa Women’s World Cup held in Australia and New Zealand.

The friendly will be played in the East Rand, on Sunday, July 2 as South Africa prepare to travel to the Women’s World Cup.

Banyana coach Desiree Ellis has already announced her final 23-member squad for the World Cup which takes place from 20 July – 20 August.

The South African women’s national team are amongst four nations representing Africa at the global tournament alongside Zambia, Morocco and Nigeria.

“We just want to thank the Football Association getting us a send-off match. We know it has been a difficult task, we are really grateful and we ask the fans to come out in their numbers to support this team and to give us a fantastic send-off,” Ellis told www.safa.net.

“We look forward to playing the match and we thank Botswana as well for coming forward to play this send-off match. It’s a huge match for us, the last match before we leave the shores of South Africa.

“We really want to put up a good performance and again we urge the fans to come out and really give us a fantastic send-off.”
