South African footballers Robyn Moodaly and Gabriela Salgado have made history after becoming the first married couple to feature together in a Women's Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON) match.

The Banyana Banyana teammates achieved the milestone during South Africa's encounter against Tanzania, where both players took to the field together in a historic moment for African women's football.

Their appearance marks a significant achievement, not only for the players but also for South African football, as their partnership represents a rare moment in the history of the continental women's competition.

Moodaly and Salgado's relationship has also attracted attention because of their journey together both on and off the pitch.

The couple announced their engagement in December 2024 before officially tying the knot in November 2025.

Their latest achievement adds another memorable chapter to their personal and professional journey, as they continue representing South Africa at international level.

The historic occasion has also highlighted the growing visibility of women's football and the personal stories behind some of the players representing their countries at major tournaments.

For Banyana Banyana supporters, seeing the married teammates share the pitch at WAFCON was a special moment that will be remembered in the competition's history.
