Super Eagles players, including
Joseph Yobo and Mikel Obi, are reportedly demanding payment from the Nigeria
Football Federation (NFF) for appearing in the world cup.
Nigeria will already
automatically earn over $9 million for qualification and participation in the
first round of the 2014 World Cup, Vanguard reports. The team will also receive
additional money if they are able to reach the knockout stages of the
competition.
In addition, each player will
receive a bonus of $10,000 for a first round match win.
The players are demanding their
own share of the country’s appearance fee that FIFA will award, because
reluctance to disburse this fee in the past has reportedly caused disagreements
between the team and NFF.
