The financial assistance will be provided to players from clubs in Portugal’s Primeira Liga and Greece’s Super League. It is estimated that the total amount of money being provided is around €2 million. The money will be used to cover unpaid wages and other costs that the players may have incurred due to the pandemic.

This move from FIFA is a positive step in helping players who have been affected by the pandemic. It is also a reminder that football governing bodies should do more to protect the rights of players and ensure that they are paid their wages on time.
It is hoped that this financial assistance will help the players affected by the pandemic in Portugal and Greece and that it will be a step towards ensuring that all players receive their wages on time. It is also hoped that this move from FIFA will encourage other football governing bodies to take similar steps in order to protect the rights of players.
