The institution released an official statement today following the Super Falcons exit in the 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup against England yesterday to confirm their commitment on making sure that all owed dues are settled.
“Following the Nigeria women’s national team’s elimination from the FIFA Women’s World Cup, FIFPRO can confirm it is assisting players in a disagreement with the Nigeria Football Federation concerning bonus payments, camp allowances and expenses, some of which date back to 2021,” the release began.
“During the World Cup, the players expressed the desire to remain focused on their performance without making public statements or facing other distractions.”
“However, the Super Falcons believe that it is now time for the Nigeria Football Federation to honour their commitments and pay the outstanding amounts.”
“The team is extremely frustrated that they have had to pursue the Nigeria Football Federation for these payments before and during the tournament and may have to continue doing so afterwards.”
“It is regrettable that players needed to challenge their own federation at such an important time in their careers.”
FIFPRO will continue to work with the players to ensure their contractual rights are honoured and the outstanding payments are settled, the institution allayed.
