The South African team Banyana Banyana is preparing for an important match against Côte d'Ivoire in the second round of Group B of the WAFCON 2026 tournament, which will take place in Morocco on Friday. Gaining points in this encounter is critically important for maintaining qualification chances.
The South African national team enters the game under pressure following an unexpected 2-1 defeat to Tanzania in the first match. This result demands an immediate reaction from the team. Currently, Banyana occupies third place in Group B, ahead of Burkina Faso, which is in last place after a 4-1 loss to Côte d'Ivoire in the first round.
Despite the tight standings, every point holds immense value for progression. For the team, Diseri Ellis' priority will be correcting the mistakes shown in the debut match. The biggest concern is attacking efficiency: Banyana created enough chances against Tanzania, but lacked the composure to convert them.
Against Côte d'Ivoire, which demonstrated attacking potential by scoring four goals in the first match, South Africa cannot afford to miss clear opportunities. It is necessary to improve the interaction and combination play between Tembi Kgatlana, Hilda Magai, and the midfield. The team requires greater stability in creating quality goal-scoring chances, not just reliance on individual skill.
In defense, South Africa also needs to increase discipline upon losing possession. Tanzania exploited spaces during transitions, and Côte d'Ivoire's confident attacking play means such shortcomings could lead to serious losses. The balance between advancing players forward and maintaining defensive coverage will be a key tactical task for Ellis. The battle in the midfield may also be a decisive factor.
Banyana must achieve greater ball control while simultaneously preventing Côte d'Ivoire from dictating the pace of the game. Experience remains one of South Africa's main strengths, and players like Kgatlana, Magai, and captain Refilow Jane are expected to lead at this critical moment of the tournament. As one of Africa's most stable women's football nations, Banyana intends to show that the first defeat was merely a temporary setback.
Although Côte d'Ivoire presents a tougher challenge, the Friday match gives South Africa a chance to make a statement and restore confidence in the squad. A win would allow Banyana to return to a strong position in Group B, whereas another loss would put the team in a difficult final match scenario for the group stage. Since they still have to play Burkina Faso in the last round of the group, the team knows that qualification remains in their hands, but a positive result against Côte d'Ivoire makes this meeting possibly the most important in the group stage.
