The  last day of June is dreaded by many professional footballers as it often marks the end of their contracts, leaving them in limbo with their futures hanging in the air.

Banyana Banyana co-captain Andile Dlamini says the team will go into the coming Fifa Women’s Cup in Australia and New Zealand starting next month with a lot of experience as they have grown in the last four years.

South African Football Association (Safa) president Danny Jordaan is already counting the votes they will need to win the bid to host the 2027 Fifa Women’s World Cup, banking on the war between Russia and Ukraine to get the association votes as European countries are said to be divided over the war.

Safa president Danny Jordaan believes Bafana Bafana coach Hugo Broos is ushering in a new era of success in the team, seeing similar traits between him and the late Clive Barker.

Banyana Banyana coach Desiree Ellis says selecting a 23-woman squad for the upcoming Fifa Women’s World Cup in Australia and New Zealand is going to be the most difficult experience of her coaching career.

Many teams that have gone to World Cups as defending champions often have a target on their backs, as opposition want to dismantle them and take the title from them. That, along with the tag of favourites by default, has seen many disastrous title defences.

Springbok captain Siya Kolisi says he initially had fears of missing out on this year's Rugby World Cup in France after he sustained a knee injury.

Proteas U/19 girls captain Oluhle Siyo is prepared to make big sacrifices as she strives to realise her dream of playing for the senior women's national team.

Cricket SA’s director of cricket Enoch Nkwe says the measures they are putting in place will help the Proteas deal with potential pressure moments in the upcoming ICC Cricket World Cup in India in October.

United Arab Emirates Pro League club Al Wahda on Saturday announced SA coach Pitso Mosimane as their head coach.
