Head coach Desiree Ellis explains what's next for Banyana Banyana after missing out on a spot at the 2024 Paris Olympics following a 1-0 aggregate loss to Nigeria over two legs.

South Africa were held to a goalless draw by Nigeria in the second leg of the Olympic qualifier at Loftus Versfeld Stadium on Tuesday night.

The result effectively means the Super Falcons claim victory over the two-legged tie, having won the first leg 1-0 in Abuja.
