Osimhen, Ighalo call on NFF to pay Super Falcons bonuses
Super Eagles strikers Victor Osimhen and Odion Ighalo have joined the call for the Nigeria Football Federation – NFF to pay owed bonuses to the Super Falcons players.
Both players made their opinions known in separate comments on Twitter, a day after the Nigeria Senior Women’s team bowed out of the 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup following a penalty shoot-out loss to England.
A statement on Tuesday August 8 by FIFPRO who promised to help the players get their owed bonuses has resurrected calls for immediate payment of the bonuses dating back to 2021.
The bonus row dominated Nigeria’s pre World Cup preparation but the players took decision to keep the concerns off until the end of their Women’s World Cup journey.
Super Eagles and Napoli forward Victor Osimhen wrote, ” Pay them @nffofficial” with an emoji of disappointment while former Manchester United striker Odion Ighalo made a comment that tells a long story.
” NFF never stop all these things “ , Ighalo wrote on Twitter.
As of the time of this report, the Nigeria Football Federation – NFF has not spoken or released official communication about the Super Falcons Women’s World Cup exit or the bonus row.
