• Each PMA will receive 50 business class air tickets from the country’s capital to South Africa and back.
• FIFA will pay €270 per member of the PMA’s delegation per day to cover the cost of accommodation and feeding. If the cost exceeds FIFA’s allowance, the PMA will be responsible for the payment of the difference.
