SWITZERLAND have arrived in South Africa for the World Cup finals, meaning all but one of the 32 nations are now in the country ahead of tomorrow's opening ceremony.
The Group H side get their finals campaign off the ground with a June 16 match against the well-fancied Spain, who will become the final squad to touch down in South Africa when they fly in tomorrow.
"With the World Cup starting tomorrow it is a great pleasure to be able to welcome some of the last teams arriving in the country," said Danny Jordaan, chief executive of the organising committee.
"When they landed today I am sure they certainly knew they had landed in a country that was one day away from hosting the World Cup.
"I can assure them that the warm welcome they received from all South Africans will follow them throughout the tournament."
