Banyana Banyana's star player, Thembi Kgatlana, did not hold back in her criticism of the Nigerian Football Federation (NFF) following their recent defeat at the MKO Abiola National Stadium.
Despite their 1-0 loss to the Super Falcons, South Africa remains determined to secure a victory in the return leg and qualify for the Paris 2024 Olympic Games.
Kgatlana expressed frustration over the playing surface at the stadium, alleging that the grass was left uncut, which impacted their ability to maintain possession during the match. She emphasized the importance of proper facilities, stating that a well-maintained pitch would benefit their style of play.
With the upcoming game at Loftus Versfeld in Pretoria, Kgatlana and her teammates are focused on avoiding an early deficit to improve their chances of advancing.
