Local clubs in Ghana, whose players feature for the Black Stars at the 2010 World Cup stand the chance of benefiting from a bulk allowance of $40 million provided by FIFA.

The world football governing body put aside this amount to motivate all local clubs whose players feature in their respective national teams at the world cup.

The amount will be provided by FIFA through the member associations to the clubs whose players will take part in the mundial as a contribution to their participation in the competition.

The FIFA Executive Committee approved the increase of prize money for the 2010 FIFA World Cup South Africa to $420 million, as compared to $261.4 million in 2006.
