Banyana Banyana coach Desiree Ellis and skipper Refiloe Jane are of the view that their Africa Women's Cup of Nations (Wafcon) triumph should be enough to sway SA corporate world to invest in women's football.

After losing their five previous Wafcon finals, Banyana finally broke their jinx when they beat hosts Morocco 2-1 to lift the R8.4m trophy at a fully-packed Prince Moulay Abdellah Stadium in Rabat over the weekend. Hildah Magaia was Banyana's heroine after netting a splendid second-half brace, while Rosella Ayane grabbed Morocco's consolation goal.

"We've always asked for more companies to come on board but now we have this [showing her Wafcon gold medal]. So now we've got a lot of people behind us. Now it's really time for women's football to be sponsored fully in SA,'' noted Ellis in her media conference after the match.
