African champions Banyana Banyana arrived in a hot and humid Montego Bay, Jamaica, on Tuesday night after a gruelling 21 hours of travelling from South Africa.
The Sasol-sponsored South African Senior Women’s National Team travelled to the island of “Jamrock” where they will play their last two international friendly matches of the year against the Reggae Girlz, as they continue to prepare for next year’s CAF African Women’s Cup of Nations.
Jamaica, who are currently ranked at 42 according to the FIFA list, will host the 50th-ranked South Africans in matches to be played in Montego Bay on 29 November, and on 2 December 2024. The two countries have only ever met on one occasion, when they drew 1-1 in an international friendly match in 2019.
