Banyana Banyana of South Africa head coach Desiree Ellis said that her team would fire on all cylinders in the Aisha Buhari Cup after having a feel of the Onikan Stadium turf constructed by Monimichelle Group.
Ellis would lead her team out today against Ghana in what would be their first game at the six nation tournament.
Speaking ahead of the match, Ellis was full of praise for organizers of the tournament and Lagos State Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu for providing facilities that are top notch, adding she has fallen in love with the Onikan Stadium turf which would enable her girls enjoy their games.

“The facilities here are top class, the grass is so beautiful. This is unarguably the best pitch I have played on here in Nigeria,” she said.
“So I am very excited about this. We have enjoyed ourselves since arriving Lagos and we hope to have a good tournament.”
It would be recalled that the Monimichelle Group which constructed the Onikan Stadium Turf also constructed the Enyimba Stadium in Aba where Enyimba has in the last couple of years been playing their continental games.
The Chief Executive Officer of the firm Ebi Egbe maintained the vision of his company was to eradicate bad football pitches in Nigeria and Africa as well as change the face of stadium facilities in the continent.
