Banyana Banyana coach Desiree Ellis has remained adamant that her side has a chance to go to Paris for the 2024 Olympics at the expense of Nigeria’s Super Falcons.

South Africa and Nigeria will lock horns in the second leg of the CAF Women’s Olympic qualifiers on Tuesday at Loftus Versfeld with the Super Falcons carrying a -0 advantage from the first leg played in Abuja.

“Looking forward to the game on Tuesday, we have looked at the footage [first game] as well. We know we are better than what we showed in Nigeria. We can do way better than that, and I think the second half showed how well we can play. It is a match we have to win,” said Ellis.

“We have to put everything into it to make sure that we get the goal early to be able to kickstart from there. We know it won’t be easy, Nigeria got the one goal advantage and we have to prepare for every eventuality.”

Sinoxolo Cesane who could not travel with the Sasol-sponsored Banyana Banyana to Nigeria is the only change in the squad ahead of the game. Beyond the magnitude of the encounter, Banyana Banyana defender Lebohang Ramalepe will get her 100th cap should she make an appearance.
