On August 17, 2020, the FUFA Executive Committee approved the appropriation of the FIFA COVID-19 Relief Grant of $500,000.
The decision was made in accordance with the FIFA COVID-19 Relief Plan regulations.
According to FUFA CEO Edgar Watson, the funds will be transferred directly to the beneficiaries' bank accounts within the next 14 days.
Watson noted, 'FUFA wishes to announce receipt of USD 500,000 being the first part of Solidarity Grant earlier applied for and approved by FIFA. The FUFA Executive Committee deliberated on and approved the allocation of the funds.'
Watson also expressed gratitude to FIFA for the timely support to football and its stakeholders during the COVID-19 pandemic period.
It is worth noting that the FUFA Executive Committee will reconvene soon to take a decision on the appropriation of the Women Football Grant based on the strategy submitted earlier to FIFA.
