Super Eagles will be getting about N20million
each as payment after crashing out of the world cup at the round 0f 16.
The players
who qualified Nigeria to a fifth World Cup will also get a share of the FIFA
largesse, several top team officials disclosed.
Team
officials were also not left out of the largesse with the least getting about
$25,000. Continue
But it was
further learnt that it was not all plain sailing as there were disagreements
particularly as regards whether those who qualified the team for Brazil 2014
should also be part of the appearance fee.
“There was a
big issue among the senior players whether those who were part of the
qualifiers should also get something. At the end of the day, skipper Joseph
Yobo prevailed that they also have to be included,” a team official informed
AfricanFootball.com
“So, even
some players like John Utaka and Raheem Lawal, who played just a couple of
qualifiers, will also get something.”
