While confirming that there were issues over allowances for
the players, Jere said there was never a hint of withdrawing from the
tournament.
“I can confirm that we held a meeting with the players over
allowances which the boys are owed. However $5 000 will be wired today which
will take the total amount paid to the players to slightly under $20 000,”said
Jere.
He said the players will fulfil Sunday’s final Group A
match against the Democratic Republic of Congo, a game which the team has to
win to enhance their chances of making history by progressing to the knockout
stages of the Afcon finals.
“I want to assure the nation that we are going to play our
final group game on Sunday and are looking forward to a positive result. These
boys are aware of the impact that qualification will have on their footballing
careers but we are also cognizant that we don’t have to turn a blind ear to
their concerns, the association will always have an ear on issues to do with
the welfare of the team, we are a listening association,” said Jere. Chronicle
