Is this a bug?

Look at the prize money for winning the League Cup in Iceland!

I know it's used as a series of friendly matches to warm up for the regular season, but come on! That's just insulting! Either have NO prize, or give a proper one!

I can't even buy my players each a packet of crisps with that money!

that is abit ridiculus, what round?

It's the Cup Final! Granted, it's just the League Cup, but surely the Icelandic FA can't seriously give out a tenner as team prize money!

fatboyjohnmulhern

a tenner goes a long way in iceland, you can buy 5 tonnes of ice with that money, no seriously with all jokes aside, what is your balance, i want to see what that moeny s in comparison

And as someone who takes his FM career seriously, i can tell you that i did plenty of research on Iceland before taking the job, and actually their weather is surprisingly mild, because they are along the path of the Gulf Stream.

And from the end of May until mid-August, it is day time 24/7! The sun briefly sets each day, but not far enough down to make the sky turn dark. Must be difficult to sleep!

Surely not to professional footballers, even if it is Iceland!

If the amount is accurate to real life, then it's possible that it's a nominal sum required to make the competition official. Which would make sense as it appears to be a friendly competition rather than a full blown cup tourney. Not speaking or reading Icelandic, I'm unable to find any sources describing the rules of the cup.

(and fatboy, Iceland is one of the most expensive countries in Europe, if not the most expensive. £10 would buy very little.)

There must be other benefits such as easier passage into Europe - although you might actually want a harder passage so you are more likely to get more money after all.

Sure, it may not be much, but it's a lot more than 10 pounds...
