A premium promised by FIFA
If in all likelihood, African clubs should not affect any premium on the part of CAF, they should leave at least with a nice check for $ 9.55 million, or about 8.85 million euros each promised by FIFA. A sum that could increase considerably according to their respective sporting performance.
As a reminder, the overall allocation offered by FIFA is a billion dollars (€ 925 million). “The biggest endowment ever attributed to a competition including a group phase and a direct elimination phase”summed up the president of the body, Gianni Infantino.
