Banyana Banyana arrived safely in Turkey yesterday ahead of their participation in the Turkish Women’s Cup, which kicked off yesterday.
There’s been much debate about the decision around Banyana taking part in the tournament as Turkey is still dealing with the after-effects of the devastating earthquake that hit the country and Syria.
“It was a quiet trip from Johannesburg to Antalya for the travelling contingent of coach Desiree Ellis, members of her technical team and 16 local-based players. The seven overseas-based players that were selected by Ellis to this camp will join the rest of the squad later on Wednesday,” said Safa in a statement on their website. “We arrived safely in the country and we were warmly welcomed by the Turkish people.
