The South African women’s football team, Banyana Banyana’s dreams of a second consecutive appearance at a FIFA Women’s World Cup have been dashed.
Banyana Banyana was dumped out of the Africa Cup of Nations tournament in the quarterfinals by hosts, Morocco, in Rabat on Saturday night.
In a replay of the final of the 2022 edition which Banyana won, Morocco turned the tables, recording a two-one victory to book their spot at next year’s World Cup in Brazil.
It was a disappointing campaign for Banyana Banyana who won just won match and have been moving in the wrong direction since their first and only continental title four years ago.
Banyana Banyana finished fourth two years ago and scraped into the last eight this year before they were sent packing.
