Host team to have plush leather seats
03/03/2010
The South African Football Association is preparing to take possession of a special team bus that the host squad will use during the 2010 FIFA World Cup, which will take place in the African country in June and July.
Mercedes-Benz South Africa presented the association with the 40-seat Ulterior coach, made locally, with fittings from the local factory of Brazilian interiors specialist Marco Polo. Marco Polo opted to finish the interior in high-quality plush cream leather, on the 40 individual seats and on a U-shaped couch at the back of the bus, which has a conference table for meetings.
Further comfort features includes a DVD entertainment system with three TV screens, full air-conditioning, and two portable fridges.
An air-horn will play a unique tune to announce the arrival of the national football team at the various venues in the build up to the World Cup and during the tournament itself.
