JOHANNESBURG - FIFA has announced a 50 percent increase in the prize money it will award to participating teams at next year's World Cup in America.
Tournament winners will receive $50-million, the runners-up $33-million and those who fail to progress beyond the group stage will get $10.5-million.
South Africa's Bafana Bafana are in for a cash whirlwind when they go to the World Cup.
Just by boarding the flight to the US alone, SAFA will pocket a cool R176-million.
