International football player’s union (FIFPro) has released an official statement offering its assistance to players of the Nigerian Women’s National Football Team to receive bonuses owed them.
The Super Falcons are owed allowances and bonuses dating back to 2021 that prompted the team to threaten a strike prior to the 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup.
However, the team decided against following through on the strike to focus on the campaign in Australia and New Zealand. The team made it to the Round of 16 stage.
Nigeria lost to England on penalties after playing out a goalless draw against the Lionesses to miss out on qualifying to the quarterfinals.
In the aftermath of the Super Falcons elimination, the team is determined to receive all payments owed them.
Like Nigeria, Morocco and South Africa got eliminated from the competition at the same stage after falling to France and Netherlands respectively.
FIFPro further communicated in the statement that it will assist the team to ensure “contractual rights are honoured”.
