In the build-up international friendly match for the tournament, the 76th ranked Cameroon walloped Augustine Makalakalane's girls 2-nil in front of their home crowd at Moruleng stadium in the North West province.

The SAFA President urged South Africans to go out in large numbers on Thursday to fill the 20 000-capacity stadium and cheer for their national team.
