Each competing nation will receive their own official welcome upon landing at the venue at which they will be based during the group stage. And with Auckland having taken centre stage today, Wellington and Dunedin will be the next of the seven host cities in the spotlight. That will be on 25 May, when Austria - who have already landed in New Zealand - move on to Wellington, while the latter city welcomes both Uruguay and Mexico.
Torino midfielder Alexander Farnerud is expected to be sidelined for at least six months after rupturing his anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee.
The former Sweden international suffered the injury during training on Saturday and his worst fears were confirmed after an MRI scan revealed he had ruptured his ACL. A statement from Torino read: "Alexander Farnerud will undergo reconstructive surgery on Wednesday afternoon in Turin."
