South African football players have confirmed their commitment to participating in the Women's World Cup despite disputes over player and support staff pay. The team captain, Refiloe Jane, assured fans that all contractual disputes with the South African federation had been resolved before the tournament began, including the guarantee of $30,000 to each player promised by FIFA. The pay dispute ended when Patrice Motsepe, president of the African Football Confederation, agreed to contribute $320,000 to be distributed equally among the World Cup players. The players are now focused on their upcoming matches and representing their country.
