from Soccer Hosted by SABC Sport
The South Africa U-17 women’s team quest to qualifying for the 2018 FIFA world cup in Uruguay will begin on Friday when they take on Botswana. Bantwana will play against Botswana in the first round first leg qualifier at the Lobatse Sports Complex (kick-off 3pm). The team received a bye in the preliminary round of the qualifiers, while their counterparts eliminated Zambia 6-5 on aggregate. Coach Simphiwe Dludlu is wary of the threat posed by their neighbours. The preparations for the match have been going well, but suffered a minor setback when the team was unable to play an international warm-up match ahead of the crucial encounter. However, Dludlu says they managed to play against the male football team to fine-tune their preparations.
