South Africa will depart for the World Cup on Monday, a day later than planned, after all the players received their visas to travel through the United States, sports minister Gayton McKenzie confirmed on Sunday.
The team had been due to leave on a charter flight for their training base in the Mexican city of Pachuca on Sunday but that was postponed while the South African Football Association (SAFA) tried to sort out the paperwork.
"All Bafana Bafana players received their visas to travel to the USA. Outstanding is assistant coach, team doctor, head of security and one analyst. The charter will leave tomorrow (Monday)," McKenzie said on X.
