BEVERLY HILLS, Nobember 22, (THEWILL) – The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) has revealed that the Super Eagles will be given a total sum of $2.4 million as a bonus for securing qualification for the 2018 Soccer World Cup in Russia.
This was revealed on Wednesday by a Spokesperson for the NFF, Ademola Olajire, saying that the Eagles would receive the sum from the $8 million being expected from FIFA.
“The NFF have agreed to give the team $2.4 million out of the $8 million we are expecting from FIFA,” he said.
He also debunked rumours that the NFF had a disagreement with the Eagles over a proposed “pay per minute played” saying it was not discussed.
The NFF have also agreed other payments and benefits to the team to avoid a pay row that marred Nigeria’s participation at the 2014 World Cup in Brazil.
