Argentina coach Diego Maradona has toured the main stadium in Johannesburg ahead of the World Cup in South Africa.
Maradona also handed out gifts to children and soccer players Thursday at a school in Soweto.
Danny Jordaan, the head of the local organizing committee, accompanied Maradona to Soccer City, where the World Cup opening ceremony and final will be held. The former Argentina playmaker exchanged jerseys with Jordaan and showed some of his soccer skills.
Maradona was on the final day of a five-day visit to see the facilities before the World Cup in June.
