🇪🇬Egypt national team players stop to catch up with former Ahly striker and 🇵🇸Palestine international Wessam Abou Ali, who drove 2 hours from Columbus to watch them play.
@_moses99 But they shouldn't be two different worlds. SA produces some of the most technically gifted footballers in the world. The difference is investment and infrastructure to allow for that technical football to be empowered.
@uNqubekoo It's actually crazy, especially when a Desiree Ellis in tears was practically begging for one after they won the WAFCON in 2022. And the league has gotten worse since then!
This is what happens when you have a golden generation who win your nation's first ever title and instead of using that as a springboard to reach new heights, you ignore the team and all the structures that got them there.
Somehow, 4 years on from becoming WAFCON champions, everything in women's football in SA has gone backwards.
🇲🇽 | Un niño esperó con ilusión la llegada de la Selección de Sudáfrica. Los jugadores respondieron regalándole una camiseta, le firmaron su álbum e hicieron fila para tomarse una foto con él, uno por uno.
Un momento increíble que le dejará un recuerdo para toda la vida. 🥹
