The South African Women’s Hockey team sets its sights on an exciting series as they unveil their 24-player squad for the upcoming French Test Series. Following their triumphant qualification for the Olympics by securing victory in the African Hockey Road to Paris Qualifier, the team is fervently gearing up for their journey towards the Olympic Games.

Set to host the Olympic Hosts, France, the squad will engage in a riveting six-match test series at SACS in Cape Town. The upcoming series promises to be a showcase of talent and strategic prowess as both teams prepare for the pinnacle event in world hockey.
