Banyana Banyana goalkeeper shines

Dlamini was nominated in the Best Goalkeeper category at the CAF Awards in November and played a crucial role in Banyana Banyana’s triumph at the 2023 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations. She also featured regularly in this year’s WAFCON campaign, although the team was unable to defend their title.

During the 2025 season, she was at the centre of goalkeeping debates after head coach Desiree Ellis opted for Kaylin Swart on several occasions, a decision that sparked strong reactions from fans who felt Dlamini deserved more game time.

On and off the pitch, Andile Dlamini continues to command attention, balancing personal milestones with a career that has cemented her status as one of South Africa’s most respected footballers.

Dlamini is widely regarded as one of South Africa’s most accomplished goalkeepers. A long-serving figure at Mamelodi Sundowns Ladies, she has won multiple domestic league titles and lifted the CAF Women’s Champions League trophy twice.
