Johannesburg - Nelson Mandela's office remained mum about whether the Nobel laureate would attend the FIFA World Cup final match later on Sunday in Johannesburg.
"No, we have no new information whether he will attend or not," said Sello Hatang, a spokesperson for the Nelson Mandela Foundation.
Since retiring from public life in 2004, Mandela has made few public appearances and his itinerary is kept secret until the last moment.
He turns 92 next weekend, appears increasingly frail, and has sharply reduced his public schedule.
Mandela was instrumental in bringing the World Cup to South Africa, but cancelled his planned appearance at the June 11 opening match after a great-granddaughter died in a car accident on the eve of the tournament.
