Ahead of the crucial 2026 World Cup qualifier against Super Eagles, the Bafana Bafana of South Africa has concluded plans to arrive in Nigeria on a chartered flight.
The 1996 African Champion will face the Nigeria’s Super Eagles in the crucial match day 3 of the qualifier.
And according to an update from the South Africa Football Association under Danny Jordan, the team will move to Lagos and straight to Uyo on a chartered flight.
“It is very important that we are travelling by charter.
“You can spend two days travelling (on a commercial airline). You leave on Wednesday and arrive on Thursday night, it’s terrible.
“We did it two years ago against Ethiopia, we won here against Ethiopia, but we ran after the ball, we didn’t touch the ball and we won it. But we could have lost that game because the players were exhausted.
“We could not repeat that again and SAFA made a very big effort to have that charter. I’m very happy with it. So now we will fly to Lagos, from Lagos to Uyo, done”, coach Hugo Broos expressing his satisfaction about the arrangement.
