South Africa coach Desiree Ellis has fired a bold warning to the Super Falcons ahead of their WAFCON 2024 semi-final showdown in Casablanca on Tuesday.
Ellis, who led Banyana Banyana to their first-ever WAFCON title in Morocco three years ago, believes her team has the blueprint to stop the dominant Nigerians.

While the Super Falcons have been ruthless so far—scoring nine goals and conceding none—South Africa had to dig deep, beating Senegal in a penalty shootout after a tense goalless draw.
Despite Nigeria’s impressive run, Ellis reminded fans of their recent history: South Africa beat Nigeria 2-1 in their last WAFCON meeting. They went on to win the title in 2022, also in Morocco.
