Sasol Banyana Banyana have an almost full complement of players in camp following the arrival of six more at their current training base in Polokwane in Limpopo.
Thembi Kgatlana, Amogelang Motau (both Mexico-based), Linda Motlhalo (Scotland), Bongeka Gamede (Denmark), Jessica Wade (Finland) and Lebo Ramalepe have all arrived at the hotel where the 2022 African Champions are camping while participating in the COSAFA Women’s Championship. None of these players have been registered for the regional women’s tournament.
“We are excited to have these players in camp as they bring more experience, and I believe this is an exciting time for the youngsters in the squad as they get to mix with their heroes. We have been saying this is an alignment camp for both the COSAFA and the WAFCON, so the arrival of these players helps us take our preparations a notch higher,” said Banyana Banyana Head Coach Dr Desiree Ellis.
“What is also pleasing is that the trio of Linda, Thembi and Amo all scored in their last games at their respective clubs before joining camp, and they come here in good form, which is very encouraging. But we are very excited to have them around so we can look to finalize our team for WAFCON.”
