Ellis remains committed to Banyana
Sunday Tribune
|July 27, 2025
BANYANA Banyana coach Desiree Ellis says she’ll continue to ‘trust the process’ as her team turns over a new chapter after an underwhelming continental outing.
Banyana are set to finish fourth at the Women’s Africa Cup of Nations finals which is set to conclude Sunday night after relinquishing their crown.
After getting out of the group stage comfortably, they were not convincing in the knockout stage as they beat Senegal on penalties in the quarterfinal and lost 2-1 to arch-rivals Nigeria in the semifinal.
Banyana were not at their best in the third/fourth place playoffs either as they lost to Ghana 4-3 on penalties after the match ended 1-1 in regulation time Friday night.
Their shortcomings in the crucial stages of the tournament somewhat hinted at the toll the team took prior to the tournament following another bonus row with Safa.
Ellis said they were at the tournament to win it during her post-match press conference at Stade El Arbi Zaouli in Casablanca though.
