Banyana Banyana goalkeeper Andile Dlamini is banking on experience to dethrone the Super Falcons of Nigeria, Completesports.com.
Desiree Ellis’ side surrendered their continental crown to Nigeria at the 2024 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations.
South Africa suffered a 2-1 defeat to the Super Falcons in the semi-final before finishing fourth after losing to Ghana’s Black Queens in the third-place play-off.
Banyana Banyana will now have another opportunity to reclaim the title at the upcoming tournament in Morocco.
Dlamini In Buoyant Mood

“Success for us will be making all South Africans happy, making ourselves happy, making the technical team happy, achieving everything that we have written down. Success is making sure that we qualify for the World Cup,” Dlamini was quoted by CAFonline.
Heading To Morocco In Top Form
Dlamini has been in top form for her club Mamelodi Sundowns, where she has not conceded in her last four matches.
The 33-year-old will be looking to replicate that form in Morocco.
“Going into the tournament with four clean sheets means a lot. It has boosted my confidence. I did not do it alone. I did it with the team, my teammates. For me to keep clean sheets, it is not just making saves, but good communication,” added Dlamini.
“I am grateful that I have confidence. I am confidence in myself, my teammates and my teammates. We are positive going into this tournament, and there will be no room for negativity.”
