The four other African representatives, Egypt, Tunisia, Morocco and Senegal will also benefit from the gesture.
According to a report on the CAF official website, the decision comes on the heels of negotiations initiated by the president of the continent’s soccer govering body Ahmad Ahmad with the FIFA administration, leading to the exceptional agreement granted on 12 April, 2018.
It follows a decision by the CAF Emergency Committee held on 1 December 2017, and ratified by the CAF Executive Committee on 10 January 2018, to provide exceptional financial support to the five African representatives towards their preparations for the impending tournament in Russia.
“This agreement, for an advance on the financial allocation by FIFA, aims to allow representatives in World Cups to have a harmonious preparation and to settle beforehand the question of bonuses due the players, which in the previous editions of the competitions has led to situations that affected badly the image of African football, with a considerable impact on team performances,” Ahmad stated.
The five teams have thus been directed to contact FIFA.
The Super Eagles are in Group D along with two-time world champions Argentina, debutants Iceland and 1998 semi-finalists Croatia.

I sense the thread opener is insinuating that NFF would 'eat' the money and not use it appropriatelyEMIR KONGI JAFFI JOFFA wrote:Where’s the trouble ?

Just imagine NFF playing their usual pranks and don't pay the players' bonus on time. The players knowing that the money is available and if they don't collect their money, using an upcoming match as bargaining chip, it might never be paid, threaten a strike. Then an empty will leave for Nigeria to go and bring money. Isn't that enough trouble?

For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God. For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding...hath not God made foolish the wisdom of this world? 21 For after that in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe

Re: Trouble Arrives: FIFA to give NFF $2m Advance Payment Fo
Havent the NFF commited to paying Rohr and his staff in advance? I also suppose NFF will need to use some of this to pay for the training facilities and transportation for the WC.
Honestly dont see the issue with this.

No excuse not to pay player bonuses now. Caf gave them money too, so we do not want to hear any stories Pinnick abeg.
Re: Trouble Arrives: FIFA to give NFF $2m Advance Payment Fo
This is the norm! Teams especially the ones classed as disadvantaged are given the money towards their preparation for the big event.
It is trouble because everyone will want to lay their filthy paws on it.

This is good news.
But in addition, african nations should also contribute into a fund to help the qualifiers to succeed in Russia. After all, we are representing failed countries like Ghana.

They will do, they have been doing this and will always do. Now there is a reason for that one...this is the largess which the rest of the boys will share, from the govt officials and their concubines being sponsored to the WC, that is the norm.Cellular wrote:I bet the NFF will ask the Ministry of Sports for money.Bigpokey24 wrote:https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/43965352

This one the govt officials will gladly release, because they will also benefit from it.

My comment: I'll have far more confidence if the Nigerian delegation is not going to be led by that moron of a Sport Minister.

Smart idea, makes it harder to have squabbles over bonuses etc. Bonuses have been agreed, NFF just need to pay as at when due.
