The Super Falcons claim their participation bonuses at the Women’s CAN 2022
The towel is burning between the Super Falcons , the Nigerian Football Federation (NFF) and the country’s Ministry of Sports. The players are indeed claiming their participation bonuses at the CAN Women Morocco 2022. The nine times champions stopped in the semi-finals. They had also boycotted training before their match for third place against Zambia, for non-payment of bonuses and allowances. But the Minister of Sport had promised the Super Falcons to pay them their bonuses. But the used playshaven’t received anything yet.“ They said the money had been approved and would reach us in a few days. It was before the game against Zambia. He has now moved on from that to ridiculous excuses like wrong account numbers to network issues. The lies and the disrespect make it clear that they like to treat the women’s team like the unwanted child ,” an outraged player told BBC Sport Africa . She adds. “ The Ministry of Sports has always been quick to celebrate our success with big statements. But since this money problem started, they have been very quiet. Imagine if one of their own daughters played for Nigeria, would they treat her like that? »An NFF official, however, told BBC Sport Africa that the situation is under control. “ The players should receive the money this week as it has been processed. Each player from Nigeria is entitled to a daily allowance of 98 euros, 2942 euros for each victory in the group stage. The Super Falcons must also receive 49,000 euros for their victory in the quarter-finals.
