In her squad, Ellis has named a mix of young players such as Ronnel Donelly and Adrielle Mibe, but also kept the experienced players in the team with the likes of Refiloe Jane, Hilda Magia and Seoposenwe among 14 players at camp who were also part of the 2022 Wafcon winning squad.
"I haven't really seen much of the new players. I've just kind of been living in a sort of bubble over in Mexico," Seoposenwe told KICK OFF.
"But the coach has given some young players the chance to come in and try and break into the team.
"We have the WAFCON coming, so we need more players to boost the squad and create a bigger group so we can compete.
It's always great seeing young players. You see yourself in them, how you were when you first came into the team.
"It's exciting, I hope they do well, and I hope they can steal our spots from us (laughs). I think that will show that the level of football in South Africa is growing, and that's what we want to see.
