Banyana Banyana coach Desire Ellis announced her squad that is going to challenge Lesetho in the upcoming International friendly.
Amongst players who are included in the camp of Banyana Banyana are two TS Galaxy players by the name of Dineo Magagula Goalkeeper and defender Yomelela Jacobs.
TS Galaxy coach Sizwe Sibiya showed gratitude towards Banyana coach for her choice and highlighted that they will encourage them to honor call ups.
He said “Look, getting recognised as a player to represent your country has to be the highest honour, and it’s something that I don’t think any player who plays football says, ‘I don’t want to be called for the national team.
“Then it means where they play, their mother teams are not going to give what you would call 100 percent dedication, commitment, and give their all because, if you get recognised with a call-up, it means you have been consistently performing well and giving your all.
“And it becomes very difficult or tricky for anyone not to see your talent, I always say, when you play, don’t worry about who says or does what, just give your all and someone with a good eye will see and recognise you.
“For me, I think getting called up for the national team has to be the highest honour.”
Banyana Banyana’s two international friendly fixtures will take place on 22 and 25 February at Lucas Moripe Stadium.
