# The first group of Cape Town teenagers stranded in Spain after participating in the prestigious Donosti Cup soccer tournament will arrive back in South Africa this afternoon. The BT Soccer Academy players successfully competed in the competition, but flights home could not be paid for from the package pricing. Through interventions from the Western Cape government and donations from South Africans, the money for the plane tickets was raised. The stranded group, which includes 25 children between the ages of 13 and 18 years old, and three coaches, will fly from Portugal to South Africa.
