SA Football Association (Safa) president Danny Jordaan has promised more high-profile friendly matches for Banyana Banyana ahead of the 2023 Fifa Women’s World Cup.
The competition‚ taking place in Australia and New Zealand next year‚ will be the African champions' second.
Brazil arrived in SA on Tuesday without captain‚ star player and women's playing legend Marta‚ who is injured‚ but have otherwise brought their best team. He said Safa plans to arrange for more top teams from Europe‚ Asia and South America to play against Desiree Ellis' Banyana ahead of the World Cup.
“We are not going to meet any African teams [in the World Cup group stage] because they can’t be in the same group as us.“Australia and New Zealand are the hosts‚ so we are also looking to play against one of those countries.”
