On the day of departure to the FIFA Women’s World Cup in France, the South African national women’s football team were told they will receive R320 000 if they make it out of the group stages.
SAFA president, Danny Jordaan pre-empted the answer for journalists present at the send-off party for Banyana Banyana at the Sasol head-quarters today when he announced that provision had been made for the teams’ bonuses. The senior national men’s team will be competing at the Africa Cup of Nations to be played in Egypt beginning of the 21of June. Now that Stuart Baxter’s men know how much it would mean to their bank balance to see past Ivory Coast; Morocco and Namibia in their pool at their tenth appearance at the tournament, Banyana players were pleased to hear the news.
