Super Falcons reportedly gets paltry N10k after AWCON qualification
The
Super Falcons of Nigeria who conquered where their male counterparts failed by
qualifying for the African Women's Cup of Nations tournament were reportedly
paid N10,000. This is a paltry sum compared to the $4000 the Men's senior
football team get for a draw and $5000 for a win. Read the report by Goalafter the cut....
''Goal learnt that the players and officials of the Super
Falcons were decamped on Tuesday evening and they were handed the sum
of 10,000 Naira that was meant to get them to their various
destinations.''
''The fate of the nine
foreign-based players who participated in the Falcons' qualifying series is
unconfirmed. Though another source hinted that they also received their return
flight ticket fares.''
''An NFF source informed
Goal that the team was already aware of the organization's financial challenges
and provision of transport fare with plans to pay their bonuses and allowances
soon.''
''Unlike their male counterparts,
Goal understands that the women are yet to be paid bonuses since last year's
Olympic qualifying campaign against Mali under former coach Edwin Okon.
''Efforts made to speak
to the Super Falcons officials were unsuccessful as they declined from
commenting on the matter while NFF officials are currently in an extra ordinary
congress in Abuja.''
