Football tournament organizers Evima Football has confirmed the crowning of African Champions, Banyana Banyana of silverware at Turkey Women’s Cup.
They received their trophy and medals after they were officially crowned as the Group A winners of the Turkish Women’s Cup on Wednesday.
The tournament was held at Antaly in Turkey.
Banyana won their group on goal difference after beating Uzbekistan 3-0 this past Saturday, and drawing 1-1 with eventual runners-up Slovenia on Tuesday afternoon.
“It was very important to have a team like yours here because you are FIFA Women’s World Cup participants. This is very important and we hope at the same time this was a very good experience for you,” said Evima Football official Evgeni Marinov.
“After the game against Slovenia yesterday (on Tuesday 21 February 2023) we said the winner of the event was your national team, South Africa. You have the same points as Slovenia but in terms of the goal difference, yours is better and you are in first place.”
Marinov also confirmed that Hildah Magaia, who scored the equaliser against Slovenia on Tuesday, was named as the midfielder of the tournament.
