BASETSANA, the national Under-20 women's side, are on track to qualify for the World Cup in Canada next year.

Basetsana progressed to the next round of the World Cup qualifiers when they beat Botswana 2-0 at Milpark Stadium at the weekend. They won 7-2 on aggregate after the Sheryl Botes-coached side won the first leg 5-2 in Botswana a fortnight ago.

Basetsana got their goals from Shiwe Nogwanya and substitute Amanda Mthandi. The Under-20 side are now likely to face Tanzania in the next round.

Safa president Danny Jordaan, who attended the game with Safa national executive members Truman Prince and Anastacia Tsichlas, among the top officials, said: "It was a great game and I am happy our girls are still on track for the World Cup in Canada. The heat played a major role in the flow of the game but I was particularly impressed by the second-half showing."
