Ibrahim Gusau, President of the Nigerian Football Federation (NFF), has reiterated that the Super Falcons players will be paid 60,000 dollars apiece following their elimination from the current 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup in Australia and New Zealand.
Gusau made the remarks in Abuja on Monday, praising the First Lady, Oluremi Tinubu, for her support of the Super Falcons squad before, during, and after their success at the Women’s World Cup.
He did, however, pledge that the Super Falcons’ and their officials’ benefits would be paid in full.
Gasau said, “I want to express our gratitude to you for being part of the send off organised for the team before their departure to Australia, it really serves as a morale booster to the team.
“By reason of their round of 16 at the FIFA World Cup, the players will earn a sum of 60,000 dollars each, the NFF really wanted the team to go further in order for the players to earn more money which they truly deserve.
“I want to assure that the players and the officials will be paid all their entitlements as soon as we receive the World Cup money from FIFA.”
