Bafana arrived in Frankfurt, Germany yesterday, with Head Coach Baxter explaining why it made sense to take a connected flight in order to get to Libya.
"Looking at all sorts of ways of solving the logistical problems and we had plans, one, was stopping in different places to refuel and two getting there and not having adequate training facilities so I am happy with the solution now, which is a flight with SAA in to Frankfurt, and to hop aboard a two hour flight and camp in to Tunis and then a 3 and a half hour bus trip. Hopefully we will have two sessions at the stadium. I think that's a good solution," Baxter explained.
