United Arab Emirates-based Airline
giants Fly Emirates have promised an unbelievable $1 million per
Egyptian player if the Pharaohs manage to qualify ahead of Ghana to the
2014 World Cup in Brazil despite their faint hopes.
The Pharaohs
led by American Bob Bradley watched their World Cup dreams evaporated at
the Baba Yara Stadium in Kumasi in mid October as a majestic Ghana side
demolished the North Africans 6-1.
The seven-time AFCON title
winners have not played at the mundial since 1990 and an age dubbed the
golden generation were determined to take the crisis-hit country to
their first modern World Cup by eliminating Ghana.
But after the
encounter in Kumasi on October 15, almost all Egyptians have given up on
Brazil though players and officials have insisted the North Africans
are capable of staging a sensational comeback to qualify ahead of Ghana.
And
it seems they now have the biggest motivation they could ever get as
Fly Emirates have promised them a whooping $1 million per player should
they beat Ghana with a 5-0 margin to qualify for the World Cup.
The
venue for the game is still under contention as Ghana officials have
sent a written protest to FIFA to shift the game from Egypt due to
instability in the country.
Egypt have played just twice at the
World Cup – 1934 and 1990 while Ghana are in pole position to make their
third straight appearance. |
