NFF: Super Eagles Still Owed Bonuses For Zambia & Algeria Wins

The Nigeria Football Federation have acknowledged that they are owing the Super Eagles players and officials their bonuses for two World Cup qualifying fixtures against Zambia and Algeria.

NFF general secretary Mohammed Sanusi admitted that the Federation are facing economic challenges and hope the situation improves, so they can liquidate the outstanding debts.

“As I speak with you, we are still owing the Super Eagles for the matches against Zambia and Algeria, but the memos have gone to government and are being looked at,” Sanusi said while addressing the Super Falcons in Abuja on Tuesday.

“We must commend the Hon. Minister (Solomon Dalung). He has been energetically pushing the cases of the various national teams. We did the memo for the Women Africa Cup of Nations in October and it is being processed as we speak.”

The Super Eagles, who are top of their qualifying group, beat Zambia 2-1 in Ndola in October before a 3-1 win over the Desert Foxes in Uyo last month.
