Janine van Wyk opened up on the mental and emotional roller-coaster ride she went through when the record to be the most capped African footballer of all time was within reach, but it looked like she wouldn't get her hands on it.
JOHANNESBURG : South African defender Janine van Wyk became the most capped African footballer of all time when she made her 185th international appearance on Monday in a seven-minute cameo against Burkina Faso that was contrived to give her the record.
The forthcoming match is not just a numerical pursuit for Janine van Wyk, but also the opportunity to bow out with Banyana Banyana booking their spot for the CAF Women's Africa Cup of Nations in Morocco next year.
Banyana Banyana secured 1-1 draw with Burkina Faso in their Wafcon first-leg qualifier at the Charles Konan Banny Stadium in Yamoussoukro on Thursday as defender Janine van Wyk ran out in her 184th match for South Africa.
Banyana Banyana head coach Desiree Ellis says she will wait until the “very last minute” before deciding whether captain Refiloe Jane will feature against Italy in their crunch FIFA Women’s World Cup encounter in Wellington on Wednesday.
South Africa’s “Captain Fabulous”, Refiloe Jane, said she was honoured to lead Banyana Banyana into their second FIFA Women’s World Cup in Australia and New Zealand next month.
South Africa's experienced defender Janine van Wyk has had to be left out of their 23-player squad for the women’s World Cup in Australia and New Zealand, but coach Desiree Ellis has been able to recall pacy forward Thembi Kgatlana.
Star forward Thembi Kgatlana, whose fitness hung in the balance, cracked the nod for Banyana Banyana's 2023 FIFA Women's World Cup squad that was announced at the Sefako Makgatho Presidential Guesthouse in Pretoria on Friday.
