AWCON 2016: NFF promises to pay Falcons bonuses before semi-final against South Africa

The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) has promised the Super Falcons players, that they will receive their bonuses before they take on South Africa, in the semi-final of the Africa Women’s Cup of Nations.

This comes after it emerged that the team was ready to boycott their last group fixture against Kenya.

Florence Omagbemi’s ladies went on to beat the Kenyans 4-0 and will take on South Africa in the last four on Tuesday.

“The NFF [Nigeria Football Federation] has approved your money [bonuses and allowances],” Green told the players and officials via telephone.

“When you see me [Chris Green] in Cameroon next week [before the semi-final], I will come with your money.”

The team is expected to earn $4,000 as winning bonus and $2,000 as a bonus for a draw, aside preparatory and tournament camping allowances in Cameroon.
