Super Falcons reportedly gets paltry N10k after AWCON qualification

The Super Falcons of Nigeria who conquered

where their male counterparts failed by

qualifying for the African Women's Cup of

Nations tournament were reportedly paid

N10,000. This is a paltry sum compared to

the $4000 the Men's senior football team get for

a draw and $5000 for a win. Read the report by

Goal after the cut....

''Goal learnt that the players and officials of the

Super Falcons were decamped on Tuesday

evening and they were handed the sum of

10,000 Naira that was meant to get them to

their various destinations.''

''The fate of the nine foreign-based players who

participated in the Falcons' qualifying series is

unconfirmed. Though another source hinted that

they also received their return flight ticket

fares.''

''An NFF source informed Goal that the team

was already aware of the organization's

financial challenges and provision of transport

fare with plans to pay their bonuses and

allowances soon.''

''Unlike their male counterparts, Goal

understands that the women are yet to be paid

bonuses since last year's Olympic qualifying

campaign against Mali under former coach

Edwin Okon.

''Efforts made to speak to the Super Falcons

officials were unsuccessful as they declined

from commenting on the matter while NFF

officials are currently in an extra ordinary

congress in Abuja.''
