South Africa’s (SA) national women’s soccer team Coach Desiree Ellis has announced a strong Banyana Banyana squad for the International Association Football Federation (FIFA) Women’s World Cup Inter-continental play-offs that kick off later this month.

She is counting on the experienced players in her team to see them through to the next phase of the play-offs.

Wendy Shongwe who played in the World Cup in Australia, has returned to the team and is the only player that was not in the Women’s African Cup of Nations

(WAFCON) squad in July and August.

Banyana Banyana failed to qualify outright for next year’s tournament in Brazil when they participated in this year’s WAFCON in Morocco.

The team is scheduled to play Chinese Taipei on the November 28 before facing Ecuador on the December 1 and Uzbekistan on December 5.
