Banyana’s chance to shine on world stage: The moment of truth for Banyana Banyana will finally arrive on Sunday when they face Sweden in their World Cup Group G opener at Wellington Regional Stadium in New Zealand (7am SA time).
It's Banyana's second World Cup appearance, having lost all their group stages' game in the last edition in France in 2019. Nine of the 23 players that made the final squad have no World Cup experience as they missed the trip to France.
“I really don't know how to feel because we've been trying to prepare for this moment for so long. I don't think everything will kick in until I step onto that field to face our opponents. In a nutshell, I am so excited and I can't wait to taste being on that biggest stage that everybody is talking about, that everybody is dreaming about. I am ready and well-prepared to help the team achieve our goals,'' Kgoale said yesterday.
