Coach Desiree Ellis of Banyana had cautioned before Friday’s draw, saying there’s not a lot separating the 12 teams who will fight for the title in Morocco next year.
As part of the preparation for next year’s event, Banyana will finish the year with the trip to the Caribbean where they’ll face Jamaica in two matches. The first match will be on November 29 and the second on December 2.
If Banyana fail to defend the trophy in Morocco, they’ll become the first champions to do so in what will be the 13th edition of the tournament.
