At the beginning of August, FIFA announced their support plan in which it will disburse about US $ 1.5 billion (about R $ 8.4 billion) to all factions of world football. This was to help associations financially after the impact of the coronavirus pandemic that cut across all sectors.
Each association will receive US $ 1 million (about R $ 5.6 million) to help compensate financially as football gears back to its old normality.
Specifically, women’s football will get around US $ 500 thousand (about R $ 2.8 million) for each registered association.
The cash inject will come in handy as distributed by FIFA all across the globe. Member associations will be able to use the funds for activities such as restarting competitions, implementing return to game protocols, participation of national teams in competitions, hiring and rehiring staff, maintaining football infrastructure and general administration and administration costs and other operations.
Further reports say that the CBF were contacted to understand how the cash inject will be applied specifically between competitions and women’s clubs. According to the confederation, the cash boost will be crucial for carrying out health protocols and testing to maintain the calendar as already laid down for women’s football.
In a nutshell, the FIFA COVID-19 Support Plan will be invested in the maintenance and financing of the women’s competitions scheduled for the 2020 season. The main and primary focus is the implementation of the athletes’ safety and testing protocols.
The next competition in line for women’s football in the country is the A1 female Brazilian. The competition returns on Wednesday after it was halted due to the coronavirus pandemic
