World Cup: Nigeria, other African teams to get $500,000 from CAF

All five African teams going to Russia 2018 will be getting $500,000 each, the Confederation of African football(CAF) is giving the funds to the African representatives as a way to support them.

According to a CAF statement "The financial package will be used mainly to strengthen and improve the technical supervision of each team".

CAF will also provide each of them with “fieldwiz” equipment, a technological device and physical performance measuring tool for outdoor team sports players.

This support should go a long way to help Nigeria and their African counterparts to prepare for the World Cup.
