Home cheer for Paraguay
Football fans attend a match at J-League side Kashiwa Reysol
Maldini's men can expect vocal support in Korea
Paraguay will be provided with their own "cheering group" of fans to help them get accustomed to life at their World Cup base in Pusan.

The South Americans will locate themselves in the port city of Pusan for their Group D games against Spain, Slovenia and South Africa.

Cesare Maldini's side will arrive in South Korea on 27 May after a friendly in Japan against J-League outfit Urawa Red Diamonds the previous day.

And World Cup promotion official Jun Na-yong said: "We are preparing a cheering group, made up of 500 people, to cheer them on."

A number of other competing countries are also likely to be given similar treatment in other host cities.

Paraguay open their campaign against South Africa on 2 June in Pusan's stadium.
