Protesting Flying Eagles Players Refuse To Vacate Hotel After World Cup Exit
Published: June 04, 2019As exclusively reported by allnigeriasoccer.com's editorial staff, Nigeria's U20 National Team have refused to vacate the Hotel Ambasador Premium in Lodz following their World Cup elimination at the hands of Senegal on Monday evening.
As the Flying Eagles players returned to their hotel last night, they started protesting the nonpayment of their entitlements since the start of preparations for the World Cup.
The Nigeria Football Federation have not paid the players their camp allowances and winning bonus for qualifying to the round of sixteen of the World Cup and the sum is around US$5,000 per player.
It will be recalled that the Flying Eagles officials gave the players dropped in Germany a parting gift of
US$100.00 each which did not go down well with the players and one of
the foreign based players rejected the money for being too meager.
Now, the Flying Eagles players are upset that the Nigerian Federation don't want to fulfill their obligations to the team and have claimed that the money has been released by the Federal Government.
The players have refused to shift their ground and have missed their flights to their respective destinations.
