A big crowd is expected to converge at the OR Tambo International Airport in Kempton Park to welcome the all-conquering Banyana Banyana.
Coach Desiree Ellis and her team are scheduled to arrive back home at 09h55am on Tuesday after they annexed the Women’s Africa Cup of Nations trophy following a 2-1 win over hosts Morocco at the Prince Moulay Abdellah Stadium in Rabat on Saturday evening.
It was sixth time lucky for Banyana after losing five finals to the Nigerian Super Falcons three times and Equitorial Guinea twice.
Meanwhile, Banyana players are going to smile all the way to the bank as each will get R400 000 for winning the WAFCON tournament.
This is as per the promise of Danny Jordaan, the president of the South African Football Association (SAFA), before the beginning of the WAFCON finals.
