BANYANA Banyana coach Desiree Ellis has named a 26-player squad for the upcoming 2025 Women's Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON), which will be hosted in Morocco next month.

The defending champions head into the tournament with a balanced squad built on continuity, experience, and emerging local talent, as they aim to retain the continental crown they famously lifted in 2022.

The absence of star striker Thembi Kgatlana has dominated headlines in the lead-up to the final squad announcement, but Ellis believes her side has enough quality to soldier on without her.

"When we won the tournament in 2022, we played without her due to injury and the players stepped up," said Ellis.
