Paraguay's squad has arrived in South Africa ahead of the World Cup.

Coach Gerardo Martino's squad landed at Johannesburg's O.R. Tambo airport Thursday before traveling on to Pietermaritzburg, near South Africa's east coast, where it will be based.

Paraguay's players were transferred by bus to the arrivals facility at the airport, and emerged wearing dark suits.

The Paraguayans beat 2004 European champion Greece 2-0 in an international friendly in Switzerland on Wednesday.
