Banyana to face Norway in pre-Women's World Cup friendly

The South African women's team will face Norway in their final preparatory game for the 2019 Women's World Cup in France.

On June 2, Desiree Ellis' ladies will hope to wrap up their build-up for the global showpiece this summer in Amiens, where they will face the Grasshoppers at the Stadium Moulonguet.

The development means the meeting between the 1995 world champions and Cameroon will no longer be held.

For coach Martin Sjögren, the warm-up friendly with an African side in South Africa will help his side conclude their buildup for Nigeria's group stage showdown in Reims on June 8.
