BEVERLY HILLS, July 03, (THEWILL) – The Nigeria Football Federation will receive a $300,000 grant from the Confederation of Africa Football, CAF, to reduce the impact of the coronavirus pandemic.
This comes after a week after FIFA announced that member associations will receive $1m in grants and an additional $500, 000 for women’s football.
“Each Member Association will be entitled to $300, 000,” CAF said in a statement.
“Normal eligibility, requirements, to access the funds has been waived due to the exigencies occasioned by the coronavirus.”
THEWILL reports that CAF had postponed the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations billed for Cameroon next January to 2022.
