South Africa's national women's football team, Banyana Banyana, secured their spot in the last 16 of the 2023 FIFA Women's World Cup with a thrilling 3-2 victory over Italy. It is a historic moment for South Africa, as it marks their first-ever World Cup win after five previous attempts. The African champions showcased their attacking prowess, scoring three goals in a single game for the first time at the World Cup. With this achievement, they join Nigeria's Super Falcons as the second African country to advance to the knockout stage of the tournament. On the other hand, Zambia's Copper Queens have unfortunately been eliminated from the competition, finishing third in their group that included Spain, Japan, and Costa Rica. Morocco's fate hangs in the balance as they face a crucial match against Colombia tomorrow. To progress to the next round, they must win and hope that Germany fails to defeat South Korea. Congratulations to South Africa for their remarkable performance, and best of luck to the remaining African teams in the competition!
