The Slovenia coach, Matjaz Kek, has named his 30-man provisional squad for the World Cup finals.
Slovenia who are in Group C alongside England, Algeria and the USA, must submit a final squad of 23 players on or before 1 June.
Robert Koren, the West Bromwich Albion midfielder, is Slovenia's only British-based player.
"I'm particularly happy about the last report from South Africa where the training headquarters of the Slovenian team, including an excellent pitch, are already waiting," Kek said in a statement.
The team qualified for the World Cup by ousting Russia in a big upset in the November playoffs on away goals. With a population of two million, Slovenia will be the smallest nation at the tournament.
