SAFA promise Bafana Bafana R131 million if they win AFCON

South African Football Association (SAFA) President Dr Danny Jordaan has revealed that Bafana Bafana players will receive R131 million if they win the Africa Cup of Nations in Ivory Coast.

Speaking to SAFA Media, Dr Jordaan said: “I am here to make sure that every box has been ticked, there’s nothing outstanding, and that everything is in place for them to focus on football, deliver on football, and give us the kind of performances that will make the nation take a deep breath and say we have a team.

“We have to get the team to focus, we have to clear everything, and if they (Bafana Bafana win, they get $7 million (R131 million), if they lose they get nothing.

“We want the team to focus and perform. We have over a period of time settled this team and we don’t want to waste time discussing unnecessary stuff.”

Bafana Bafana coach Hugo Broos and his charges are currently in camp in Stellenbosch preparing for the tournament.

South Africa have been drawn into Group E alongside neighbours Namibia, Mali as well as Tunisia.
