Nigerian Women’s football team, the Super Falcons continue their duel with the Nigerian Football Federation in new reports coming from The Athletic media outlet, United Kingdom.
The Super Falcons players have alleged that the Nigerian Football Federation (NFF) has treated them unfairly by failing to pay their match bonuses and allowances over the years.
According to words quoted by the unnamed source, they likened the Falcons’ treatment to that of “slaves.”
Prior to the World Cup tournament, the Super Falcons had made headlines when they threatened to boycott their opening match in the 2023 Women’s World Cup against Canada due to unpaid entitlements.
Despite their initial protest, they eventually played the game, which ended in a goalless draw.
Reports suggest that the players agreed to participate in the opening match after reaching an agreement with the NFF. According to the alleged agreement, each player was entitled to a $100 per day camp allowance, a $3,000 win bonus, and a $1,500 draw bonus.
However, FIFA, the global governing body for football, later announced that each player from participating countries in the 2023 Women’s World Cup would receive at least $30,000..
