Women in Casablanca: South Africa's first gay couple team
South Africa's national team participated for the first time in the history of the Africa Cup for LGBTQ+ individuals, with two lesbian players, Robin Kimberly Modali and Gabriela de Jesus Thomas Salgado, taking part in the match against Tanzania in Casablanca during the first round of the group stage. Although the team lost the match 2-1, this participation marks a historic milestone on the African continent, where LGBTQ+ topics are still considered taboo religiously, socially, and politically. This step comes as part of breaking social barriers and fostering acceptance for the LGBTQ+ community in Africa.
