LISBON (AFP) -- The Portuguese Football Federation is offering national team players their biggest-ever bonus if they win the 2006 World Cup, the president of the federation has said. Giberto Madail would not specify the exact amount each player would take home, telling daily newspaper Jornal de Noticias that "all I can tell you is that it will be enough to buy a good car."

"Everything has been defined. Now all that is left is for the team to play," he added.

Sports daily Record, citing unnamed federation sources, said each player would get 275,000 euros (347,500 U.S. dollars) if Portugal wins the World Cup final in Germany on July 9.

Portugal coach Luiz Felipe Scolari will name his World Cup 23-man squad on May 15.

The country is in Group D along with Angola, Iran and Mexico. It will kick off its campaign against former African colony Angola on June 11, two days after the start of the tournament.

Portugal are tied in eighth place with Argentina in the FIFA world rankings for April.

The country's first appearance at a World Cup in 1966 is also its best performance to date. Portugal reached the semifinals that year, losing only to eventual world champions England.
