Fifa have confirmed that they will pay.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor any international match\u201a it depends on the venue and the location\u201a but it\u2019s a minimum of R5 million that we spend to put a single Bafana Bafana match together.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt involves the stadium hire\u201a it involves transportation\u201a the further out the match goes from Johannesburg we must fly out even the visiting team to that destination.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Mumble explained that according to the rules\u201a visiting teams are responsible for flying themselves to Johannesburg but if the match is in another province\u201a then Safa picks up the difference.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd this match took place in Polokwane last year and we had to pay the difference\u201a\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs far as the accommodation arrangements are concerned\u201a our team is in camp for a week and half before the match itself.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo all of those accommodation costs and other logistics we have to pay.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We also have to pay the staff and the match bonuses to the players. We cannot say to the players they must pay back those bonuses \u2013 no they played and they must be compensated for that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The match will be replayed in November on a date that Safa was planning to use to host the annual Nelson Mandela Challenge friendly between Bafana and an opponent that was yet to be confirmed.<\/p>\n<p>Safa officials use the Nelson Mandela Challenge match to help raise funds for the Nelson Mandela Children\u2019s Fund and Mumble said they would ask Fifa to also consider contributing to the cause\u201a given that they&#8217;ve had to pull the plug on that charity match to accommodate the replay.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo we want Fifa to make that donation to the Nelson Mandela Children\u2019s Fund because we would have raised that money for the Nelson Mandela Children\u2019s Fund on that date which is now taken up by the Fifa fixture.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe will ask Fifa to please take into consideration the fact that we make a substantial contribution to the Nelson Mandela Children\u2019s Fund every year and they have a hospital standing up that needs operating costs to be raised.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are going to ask Fifa to please make that donation to the Nelson Mandela Children\u2019s Fund.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"related_articles\" style=\"width: 100%;\">\n<div style=\"clear: both; font-size: 90%; background-color: #eeeaea; padding: 5px; width: 60%; margin-top: 10px;\">\n<table width=\"100%\" border=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\">\n<tr>\n<td style=\"border:0; padding:0\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ghanamma.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/96124592.jpg\" style=\"padding-right:2px;\" \/><\/td>\n<td style=\"border:0; padding:0;width:100%; vertical-align:middle; font-size:11px;\">Courtesy of <b>GHANAsoccernet.com<\/b> &#8211; Ghana&#8217;s leading football news website.
