FIFPRO tackles NFF over Falcons unpaid bonuses
Just a day after the super falcons elimination from the ongoing fifa women’s world cup in australia and new zealand, the international federation of professional footballers and the nigeria football federation are in a war of words over the payment of outstanding bonuses and allowances of the players, which dates back to 2021, newsmen reports.
In a statement on tuesday, fifpro confirmed that it received complaints from the players over their outstanding monies with the federation.
Fifpro further stated the players’ determination to get their payments after avoiding the distraction in the course of the tournament. However, the super falcons believe that it is now time for the nigeria football federation to honour their commitments and pay the outstanding amounts.
In a reply to fifpro’s statement, the nff described the global players union’s action as “nothing more than a storm in a team cup.” The nff insisted that it would pay the players what they and fifa promised them, adding that they would be paid for the friendly matches and qualifying matches they were owed, while appearance fees and bonuses would be given once fifa paid the world cup money.
