However, being defending champions, Banyana will now look to get back to business in Africa.
Banyana have been drawn in group A, alongside Madagascar, Malawi and Comoros.
"It is not an easy group by no means, we played Madagascar last year and they gave us a very tough time but obviously they would have grown as a team," Ellis told the South African Football Association.
Malawi we played them last year as well but we have seen over the last couple of months they played some games and had some good results.
And Comoros, we played in them in 2014 and like each and every team they would have grown.
It is a tough group. We start off with Comoros and we will make sure that we do not underestimate any opponent.
