NATIONAL soccer team Bafana Bafana have been in Port Elizabeth since Monday and are ready to take on top-ranked Ivory Coast at the iconic Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium in a Mandela Challenge clash tomorrow (Saturday, November 12).
Fans are looking forward to watching the Mandela Challenge match being hosted in Nelson Mandela Bay. Hundreds have been securing autographs from both the national team and the visiting “Elephants”, who arrived in the city yesterday (Thursday). Disappointingly, Ivory Coast arrived without their goal-scoring machine and skipper, Didier Drogba, as he is injured.
Stadium marketing manager Buli Ngomane said the venue was ready to host the star-studded match, which starts at 3.15pm tomorrow.
The national squad are training at the stadium until about 11.30am today while Ivory Coast are expected to train there from 3pm.
