The players of the Nigeria team, eighth finalist of the World Cup, demand that their federation “honor its commitments” and pay them bonuses and unpaid expenses, in a press release from the players’ union, Fifpro, Tuesday August 8 . “The Super Falcons believe that now is the time for the Nigerian Football Association to honor its commitments and pay the amounts due,” the statement said. Eliminated on Monday by England, the “Super Falcons” waited until the end of their World Cup to resume the battle between them and their leaders. After threatening to boycott the first match of the World Cup on July 21 against Canada, they agreed to put their demands on hold to focus on the tournament. Backed by Fifpro, the players resumed their crusade on Tuesday, demanding bonus payments, internship allowances and expenses, some of which date back to 2021. Nigeria have participated in every Women’s World Cup since the inaugural edition in 1991.
