South African side Orlando Pirates say they are expecting payment from FIFA for their goalkeeper, Fatau Dauda, who is with Ghana in the World Cup in Brazil.
According to some information on the Siya crew’s desk, FIFA pays clubs a rate of $2800 a day for players making their countries' final 23-man squads for the Brazilian showpiece.
Pirates is therefore expected to get about R500 000 for Dauda because he is competing for Ghana in Brazil.
“I don’t know how much they will be paying us because FIFA doesn’t deposit the money directly into the club’s bank account. In 2010, FIFA gave the money to SAFA and the association then transferred it to the club's accounts,†Pirates Administrative Manager, Floyd Mbele, told the Siya crew.
“All I know is that in 2010 the money that was paid to clubs was based on the number of players that a certain club had in the World Cup squads,†added Mbele.
Meanwhile, Mamelodi Sundowns are expected to pocket R1 million from FIFA for Ghana’s Rashid Sumaila and Ejike Uzoenyi of Nigeria.
