Banyana Banyana’s disappointing WAFCON fixtures

Despite coming into the 2026 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON) as favourites, Desiree Ellis’ Banyana Banyana struggled to make an impression.

They were lucky to make the knockout phase after a win, a draw and a loss in Group B to set up a date with Morocco in the quarter-final, where they fell 2-1.

However, they did well to beat Nigeria 2-1 to qualify for the inter-confederation FIFA World Cup qualifiers play-offs to be played between November 24 and December 5 as shown in the above table.
