Banyana hoping for good draw for AWC
The African Women's Championship draw will be held in Windhoek
The Confederation of African Football (CAF), have confirmed that the draw for the Ninth African Women Championship (AWC) will be held on Saturday 19th July 2014.
The draw is scheduled for the Namibian capital, Windhoek at 19:00 local time (17:00 CMT). It will be held at the Windhoek Country Club Resort.
Eight nations are in the draw; Algeria, Cameroon, Cote d’Ivoire, Ghana, Nigeria, South Africa, Zambia and the hosts Nambia.
The final of the tournament will be held from the 11th through to the 25th of October and serves as the continental qualifier for the 2015 FIFA Women’s World Cup to be held in Canada, with the top three teams at the AWC qualifying for the world finals.
Banyana Banyana will continue their preparations for the AWC by taking part in a friendly international against Namibua at the Sam Nujoma Stadium in Windoek on Saturday.
Defending champions Equatorial Guinea, who beat South Africa in the final two years ago, failed to qualify for the 2014 edition.
