Togo's long-running pay dispute appears to be over after FIFA guaranteed that the team's players would be given their money.

The Sparrowhawks are already out of the competition after losing 2-1 to South Korea and 2-0 to Switzerland but have a third game to play, against France, on Friday.

The players threatened to boycott Monday's game against Switzerland before eventually agreeing to play while coach Otto Pfister resigned before the South Korea match because of the ongoing row only to change his mind and return to his post.

FIFA's director of communications Markus Siegler confirmed: "The money is being paid by the Togolese FA out of their account.

"It is not additional money, it is money that belongs to the Togo FA. It is being drawn from their account and paid to the players. And that is, finally, the end of the matter."
