South Africa arrive Uyo for Nigeria clash


South Africa's national team arrived in Uyo ahead of Wednesday's 2015 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying final game against Nigeria on Monday evening.
The already qualified Bafana Bafana , who are seeking to deny the African champions a place in Equatorial Guinea 2015, landed in the Akwa Ibom State capital at about 8pm.

The South African delegation arrived via a chartered aircraft from Johannesburg after securing landing permit from the government into the Ibom International Airport.

The contingent included 26 players and 15 officials and they will have a feel of the Akwa Ibom Stadium on Tuesday evening.

The qualifying match between the Super Eagles and Bafana Bafana will be played at 6pm at the new 30,000 capacity Akwa Ibom International Stadium.
Nigeria require a win to reach Afcon 2015 while South Africa will play for pride having never defeated Nigeria in a competitive match at this level.
