Advanced payment

African quintet which qualified for the World Cup finals, who is starting next month across Russia, are getting a financial boost. To have better preparations for the event, Egypt, Morocco, Nigeria, Senegal and Tunisia are being awarded 1.648.470 euros each. This was announced from FIFA in the last day of April, while CAF president Ahmad Ahmad immediately praised the decision saying that the world football organization was not that generous in past editions (continent is receiving less money than others) which 'affected badly the image of African football'.
