All the Banyana players have reported for national team duties, except for USA-based pair, Jermaine Seoposenwe and Kelso Peskin, who are expected to arrive on Wednesday and Thursday respectively.
The players are back in camp following their one-week break after they were eliminated from the 2015 African Games in Brazzaville, Congo, by a coin toss.
"I must admit after playing Kenya at the beginning of August we would have been rusty going into such an important fixture, but the three matches we played in Congo have kept the players in shape and we were also able to come up with new strategies to face Equatorial Guinea."
"The good thing also is that we returned from Congo without injuries so we have had all the players training, which helps with our preparations and we are able focus on our plans instead of attending to injured players."

"We know that most of their (Equatorial Guinea) players who went to the 2011 FIFA Women's World Cup in Germany are part of the current squad, and those are more or less the same players that defeated Nigeria. We expect them to play very attacking football, more like European-style as most of them don't play in Equatorial Guinea. But we are ready," Coach Vera Pauw said in an official press statement.
