South African Super Sport presenter Thomas Mlambo, who is in the country for a four-day tour, said yesterday the sum would be given to TFF chairman Leodegar Tenga today.

The team will be among seven African countries which will take part in the inaugural junior soccer tournament scheduled for Burundi.
