NFF Settles Super Eagles Players Three Years Outstanding Bonuses, Allowances
NFF has said that it will deliver a massive cash boost for the Super Eagles by clearing all bonuses and allowances of the team’s 26 matches that have been outstanding since 2021.
These bonuses and allowances date back over three years covering 2022 World Cup and 2023 AFCON qualifiers and include a long list of friendly matches involving the Super Eagles.
A top sports ministry official confirmed that the outstanding payments were covered in the budget approved by the Federal Government for the forthcoming AFCON.
“All the bonuses and allowances pending for the team will now be cleared after this budget approval,” he reportedly said.“This will be a big incentive for the team leading up to the AFCON.”
The Super Eagles bonuses and allowances at the 2023 AFCON are guaranteed on account of this budget approval.
The 2023 AFCON will kick off on Jan. 13 to Feb. 11 in Cote d’ Ivoire with 24 nations participating.
