FIFA has said it will release 150 million US dollars to its member associations to help deal with the financial troubles caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.
The global football body said on Friday that all operational funding for 2019 and 2020 would be distributed among the 211 member associations in the next few days and that each member association will receive 500,000 dollars.
