North Macedonia stars could receive £421,000 (€500,000) from Prime Minister Dimitar Kovacevski if they can replicate their heroics against Italy and end Cristiano Ronaldo's hopes of reaching the World Cup with Portugal.
They claimed the scalp of the reigning European Champions last week after a dramatic late winner from Aleksandar Trajkovski. Fernando Santos' side edged past Turkey to seal their place in Tuesday's final with Otavio, Diogo Jota and Matheus Luiz finding the back of the net.
The 37-year-old, who ruled out his international future hingeing on the playoff final, will lead his nation out as they hope to book their place in November's World Cup. But the North Macedonians will have extra motivation after the eye-watering cash injection, as per the Mirror.
