No Special Bonus For Eagles-NFF

Nigeria Football Federation says  there will be no special bonus for  the Super Eagles in the  two-legged World Cup play-off against Ethiopia. NFF President  Aminu Maigari told supersport.comthat the players would  receive the “usual $5,000” win bonus for the two games. “The players will receive the usual $5,000  if they beat Ethiopia this month. There has been no change in the bonus structure for now,” he said.  “There are no issues at all. We have been in contact with the players and coaches and no one has any problem  with what we pay as bonus. “The players were paid $5,000 after  the  last World Cup  qualifying game against Malawi in Calabar and no one complained. “It’s about honour, patriotism and the collective zeal to see that Nigeria’s flag is hoisted at the gathering of elite football nations in Brazil next year. “Money is the last thing on anyone’s mind right now because they are top professionals who know what it means to represent their country.”
