The Algerian FA decided to pay each of Algeria's players a bonus in the area of $ 300,000 should they qualify for the World Cup, according to media reports.

Algeria need to win, draw or lose by a one-goal margin to ensure they will become one of Africa's representatives at the most important FIFA tournament.

Days ago, Egyptian FA president Samir Zaher announced that EGP two million would be paid for each of Egypt's players if they reached the World Cup.

Both teams will clash on November 14th at Cairo Stadium.

A victory by a three-goal margin for the Pharaohs will see them reach the World Cup due to a better goal difference.

However, If Egypt beat Algeria by a two-goal margin, a play-off game will be played to determine the group winners, as both teams will become equal in goal difference, goals scored and head-to-head record.
