South Africa will come into this competition as the defending champions and they have waited three years to defend their title.

Banayan have been placed in Group C alongside the likes of Ghana, Mali and Tanzania.

They will take on Ghana in their opening fixture, which is scheduled to take place at the Honneur Stadium in Oujda, Morocco, on Monday evening.

Jane has revealed that her side have finished their preparations and are ready for the first challenge in this competition.

“Obviously this is the opening game of the tournament for us, it’s going to be a very difficult one,” said Jane.

“They are a completely different team, but we are prepared for them and we’re hoping that we can perform better as a team.”

Banyana Banyana against Ghana is scheduled to kick-off at 6pm.
