Speaking at the welcome, South African Football Association, SAFA president Danny Jordaan said there would be a resolution to deal with gender pay gaps in the sporting fraternity as announced by the SA sports minister.

I spoke to the minister [Nathi Mthethwa] and we said we will meet with the government as soon as possible … We must work together to address this disparity between men and women in sports … While we celebrate we must also recognise there are challenges we are ready to meet.” Said Jordaan. 

Proud of this victory led by a local Coach Desiree Ellis, General Nene called on government to trust the nationals. 

Their win is a message to SA football that local coaches must lead the national teams. Because you can’t send someone from another country to lead and win us something.”
