Banyana Banyana of South Africa head coach, Desiree Ellis, has revealed that they are exploring all possibilities to beat the Super Falcons to the Paris 2024 Olympic Games ticket.
Ellis in a chat stated that Loftus Versfeld Stadium, Pretoria was chosen as the venue of the return leg tie on April 9th decider to give them an edge over the Falcons because of the high altitude in the area at the time.“We will use everything we have to qualify. Pretoria has a high altitude as well. We have to make sure we take advantage of that. Hopefully that can help us in the opening 15 to 20 minutes of the game.
Ellis warned his players will not take the Super Falcons for granted despite their inability to lose to them since 2018 while adding that they must record a positive result in Abuja to stand any chance. “The Super Falcons have a lot of quality players and we can’t take the game lightly. We must concentrate for the whole of the 90 minutes so as not to get punished.”
