Banyana Banyana head coach Desiree Ellis has welcomed back midfielder Robyn Moodaly-Salgado, who took a hiatus from international duty in late 2023 to focus on her mental health. Moodaly-Salgado attended the team's open training session at AW Muller Stadium and was named in the 31-player provisional squad for the upcoming tournament. Ellis expressed gladness that the player feels mentally ready to return. Additionally, Safa has appointed a mental coach for Banyana following the tragic suicide of Bafana Bafana midfielder Jayden Adams due to depression.
