Not having a single African woman shortlisted for Fifa awards is disappointing, says Banyana coach Ellis

During the year under review, Ellis guided Banyana to a maiden Women’s Afcon title and a subsequent qualification to the Fifa Women’s World Cup. She was also voted CAF coach of the year. Responding to a question during a media conference at Safa House in Johannesburg on Friday on what she made of the Fifa nomination list, Ellis said:

This was in reference to the previous snub of Mosimane, who in 2021, guided his former club Al Ahly to two CAF Champions League and back-to-back Super Cups in less than a year in charge of the Egyptian giants.According to Fifa, two expert panels for women’s and men’s football selected the candidates for the players’, goalkeepers’ and coaches’ categories.
