World and European champions Spain are expected to land at OR Tambo International Airport on Sunday morning accompanied by an entourage of close to 50 members of the media.
The Spain team, teeming with world superstars, is scheduled to touch down at 08:55am in a chartered plane. Before heading to their hotel, they are scheduled to conduct a joint press conference with their Bafana Bafana counterparts.
Among those expected to welcome the Spain team are Safa president Dr Danny Jordaan, Gauteng Premier, Nomvula Mokonyane and Spain’s accredited Ambassador to South Africa.
The world champions are expected to use Orlando Stadium for their training sessions apart from the final one which will take place at the match venue on Monday.
Both Bafana and Spain delegations have provisionally set some time on Monday to meet with the President of the Republic of South Africa, Mr Jacob Zuma.
Bafana will train at FNB Stadium from 11:00-12:00am on Monday while Spain should train from 7:30-8:30pm.
More than 30 000 tickets are already in the hands of soccer fans eager to watch the best team in action against our own Bafana Bafana and fans are urged to avoid a last minute rush to buy tickets.
“Go and buy your ticket this weekend if you have not done so already. This is a rare opportunity to see world champions live in action. Such an opportunity does not avail itself more often; so do the right thing and join thousands other soccer fans on a night of soccer extravaganza,” said Jordaan.
Spain has named a star-studded side, most of whom were part of the 2010 World Cup that went on to beat Netherlands 1-0 through an Andres Iniesta strike at FNB Stadium.
Meanwhile, Bafana coach Gordon Igesund is adamant the team he has selected has what it takes to hold its own against the best team in the world.
“We have the capacity to do well but I want to urge South Africans to come in their thousands and witness what should be an exciting night of entertaining football,” said Igesund.
