After enduring a tortuous journey from the Rainbow Nation, South Africa’s delegation is now in the Akwa Ibom State capital, Uyo ahead of Friday’s World Cup qualifying match against the Super Eagles of Nigeria.
The South Africans confirmed their arrival with a short message on their X account on Thursday where they wrote: Bafana Bafana have finally arrived at their base in Uyo, Nigeria #BafanaPride #WCQualifiers
Before finally announcing their arrival in Uyo, the South African delegation had voiced their frustration at their prolonged journey complicated by several bureaucratic bottlenecks.
