22 June 2021 – Banyana Banyana will have their first training session this afternoon (Tuesday, 22 June 2021) as they commence preparations for the friendly international clash against the Netherlands, which will be played next weekend (Satuday, 3 July 2021) in Zwolle, Netherlands.
All the players have reported for national team duty, except Netherlands-based striker Ode Fulutudilu who will meet the team when they arrive in that country on Tuesday, 29 June.
Head Coach Desiree Ellis has been forced to make a change – bringing in Ntombifikile Ndlovu from Sunflower WFC, for the injured Kgaelebane Mohlakoana of Bloemfontein Celtic.
This brings to two the number of players selected from the Sasol League – Ndlovu and her teammate Ongeziwe Ndlangisa.
Here’s Ellis giving an update about the camp:
