The players of the Greek national team have written a letter to the prime minister of Greece, saying that money should be allocated for a new training facility for the Ethniki.

The Greek players were expected to receive bonus payments after progressing out of the group stage of the World Cup for the first time in the history but they have opted against it.

According to Newsbomb, all 23 members wrote and signed a letter to Greek Prime Minister Antonis Samaras saying that the money can be better used to improve the Greek national team.

“We do not want [an] extra bonus or money. We only play for Greece and its people,” the players wrote.

“All we want is for you to support our effort to find land and create a sports centre that will house our national team.”

Greece qualified for the second round after finishing second in Group C before losing to Costa Rica on penalties.
