The body of Emiliano Sala arrived in Argentina a few hours before his funeral tomorrow.
The body is taken to Progreso, about 538 km northwest of Buenos Aires, the capital, for a wake up and wake up in the next few hours.
The attacker will be buried in his home country after the plane he drove to Cardiff crashed in the English Channel on 21 January.
His remains were discovered on February 3 in the Piper Malibu crash, after a private search team found the plane. The official search for him and driver David Ibbotson was canceled after a week.
Sala had been transferred from Nantes, France, to Cardiff, after the club signed it for £ 15 million.
Cardiff director Neil Warnock and general manager Ken Choo traveled to Argentina for the funeral.
The awakening to celebrate his life will take place at the San Martin Football Club in Progreso, where Sala played as a boy.

"If you have hope, you should not give up," she said. "He would not stop looking for me."
The pilot David Ibbotson (pictured with his wife Nora) was carrying the Cardiff City star into his new club when the accident occurred.
Mr. Ibbotson's wife, Nora, told the series that they could not mourn properly until his body was brought home.
"We know he's gone but we want him back," she says. "We know he's dead, but we just want him to be at home." He was a brilliant husband, he supported us all, he was our supporter, he was our rock. We have the impression that he is alone on the moment.
"I know the conditions are not bright and the sea is dangerous, but we just need to watch for the last time."
Brendan Allen, Acting Chief Coroner for Dorset, adjourned the proceedings to Bournemouth until November 6 for a pre-investigation review.
He told the audience that it was because an investigation by the Air Accident Investigation Branch into the tragedy could take between six months and a year.
