South Africa Coach Says They are Ready to Beat Nigeria in the WAFCON Clash
South Africa’s women’s national team coach, Desiree Ellis, has confidently stated that her team is ready to take down Nigeria once again as both sides gear up for their semi-final clash in the 2024 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations. The much-anticipated match between Banyana Banyana and the Super Falcons is scheduled for Tuesday, with high stakes as a spot in the final is up for grabs.
Despite Nigeria’s stronger overall record in past meetings, South Africa won their last WAFCON encounter in 2022, edging the Super Falcons 1-0 in Morocco. That result, Ellis believes, gives her team the belief and strategy needed to win again.
Speaking ahead of the clash, Ellis said they understand what it takes to defeat Nigeria and are fully prepared for the challenge. She added that her players know the weight of this fixture and are determined to come out on top.

Football legend Thierry Henry has reacted to Lionel Messi’s emotional response after Argentina lost the 2026 FIFA World Cup final to Spain.
It can be recalled that Spain defeated Argentina to lift the 2026 World Cup trophy. While Spain celebrated their victory, cameras captured Messi in tears after the final whistle.
Henry said Messi’s reaction showed just how much the game still means to him.
“Look at what it means to him. If you ever had any doubt about whether the guy still has any fire in his belly, look at him. Look at what it means.”
He added “You won already. And look at the guy. Look at the passion, desire and the love that he has for his country and how much he puts into it.”
Football legend Rio Ferdinand has shared his prediction ahead of the FIFA World Cup final between Spain and Argentina.
While many have backed different teams to lift the trophy, Ferdinand said some fans have underestimated Argentina’s quality.
He said “I find it difficult to bet against Argentina. They have demonstrated remarkable character, determination, and resilience. I believe people have been somewhat disrespectful by calling them an average team; they are not.”
He continued “I think it is inappropriate and disrespectful. If you are saying that, you clearly do not watch enough football, as they are an excellent team, and in challenging situations, they become even better and stronger. However, I do believe Spain will win the match.”
