The COSAFA Women’s Championship is in full swing, and all eyes are on Banyana Banyana as they continue their journey towards glory! It’s an exciting time for women’s football, not just in South Africa but across the continent. And if you’re following the action, you know that this tournament is more than just a game—it’s a celebration of skill, resilience, and the unbreakable spirit of women athletes.
At 10bet, we’ve been buzzing with excitement about this, and we recently had the incredible Indira Albuquerque, former footballer and advocate for women’s sports, on The Bettor Podcast with Lorenz Kohler. Indira shared some deep insights about the challenges in women’s football and what needs to happen to take the game to the next level. Spoiler: It’s all about breaking boundaries, improving funding, and raising the visibility of women’s sports.
Banyana Banyana: A Force to Be Reckoned With
Banyana Banyana has always been a source of pride for South Africa. This team has consistently proven that they are here to compete on the biggest stages, and their performance at this year is no different.
But what makes this year extra special? The support and unity behind the team. There’s a growing buzz around women’s sports, and more South Africans are tuning in to cheer for Banyana Banyana. This not only motivates the players but also helps shift the perception of women’s football.
Elevating the Women’s Game: What Needs to Happen?
During The Bettor Pod, Indira Albuquerque touched on key points that hit home for everyone passionate about women’s sports. She spoke about the need for better financial backing, from grassroots to professional levels, because let’s face it—without proper funding, teams can’t reach their full potential.
Indira also emphasized visibility. Women’s football needs more media coverage, sponsorships, and fan engagement. That’s where platforms like COSAFA and initiatives from brands like 10bet come in. By supporting and promoting women’s sports, we’re helping to level the playing field.
But it’s not just about what we can do—it’s about what these amazing athletes are already doing! They’re proving that with hard work, dedication, and heart, they can achieve greatness. The next step? We need to back them up and amplify their voices.
Women’s football is rising, and with continued support, there’s no limit to where it can go.
At 10bet, we believe in the power of sport to inspire change, and that’s why we’re committed to amplifying women’s football. Whether it’s through podcasts like the one with Indira, or celebrating our Banyana Banyana heroes on the blog, we’re here for the long run.
