However, he was hesitant to promise any incentives at this time. The U20 men's national team returned to the country on Tuesday morning after their 1-0 victory over Morocco, which secured them the continental youth tournament and a prize of R3.6 million ($200 000).

 As anticipated, Jordaan was asked about how this prize money would be distributed and whether the players would receive a share.

Jordan explained that the situation is more complex than it appears. “We have not received any money from CAF, when we get it we will decide.

SA football has to missed a single international matches where we comply with our commitments. We have played in CHAN and in every single completion in CAF and FIFA and that means daily traveling, allowance etc.

There is great respect on what SA football has achieved.”

Jordaan also urged Premier Soccer League clubs to release players that coach Raymond Mdaka had to leave behind after their teams withdrew them. He hopes that the opportunity to play in the World Cup will encourage their participation.”

This U20 team together with the players who were not there and we hope we will have the full cooperation of our clubs to give the coaches the possibility of player availability . That we will be a team that will compete with the best in the world and move forward to Chile.”
