Finally a powerful voice that speaks up & stands against the struggles & challenges that female athletes face in our Country. We are expected to produce positive results but yet we dont have the same resources & structures to get us to a level to compete against the world.
I was shocked to discover that some @Banyana_Banyana players have full time jobs just to survive due to inadequate sponsorship. They find themselves competing against professional teams who train a maximum of hours that our team cannot afford. Yet they qualify for the World Cup!.
