Spain Arrive In South Africa

Euro 2008 champions Spain have arrived in South Africa ahead of this summer's World Cup finals.

The Spanish national squad, the last of the 32 that will compete at the World Cup to arrive in the African country, landed at Johannesburg's international airport at around 0915 local time after a 10-hour flight.

The players, who flew first class in an Iberia Airbus A340 aircraft, are now taking care of the required formalities before being allowed into the country.


Spain, who will meet Switzerland, Honduras and Chile in Group H, will now travel by bus to Potchefstroom, a city located 135 km away from Johannesburg, for their training camp.
