Banyana Banyana will meet the Netherlands in the historic Winnie Madikizela–Mandela Inauguration Challenge at the Cape Town Stadium on 19 January 2019.

The SASOL-sponsored outfit will also face Sweden in celebrating Albertina Sisulu’s Centenary at Cape Town Stadium on Tuesday 22 January 2019.

Speaking ahead of Banyana’s clash against Sweden and the Netherlands, Safa president Dr Danny Jordaan said: ‘Winnie Mandela is unquestionably one of the most outstanding heroes of this country, and her sacrifices and dedication to an equal society are unmatched, and therefore as SAFA we saw it fit to remember her devotion to what she did for a new South Africa with an annual football challenge.’

‘The match against Netherlands in Cape Town marks the beginning of such annual commemorations. We expect football fans to come and witness what should be a great football spectacle featuring our swashbuckling Banyana Banyana against the Netherlands.’

Banyana Banyana will play in next year’s Fifa Women’s World Cup France 2019, after finishing runners-up at the recently concluded African Women’s Cup of Nations tournament in Ghana.
