Super Eagles players are expected to earn one point million naira for each match at the group stage and will earn five point four million naira if they qualify for Round of 16 at the Africa Cup of Nations, AFCON in Egypt.
It was gathered that unlike Russia 2018 World Cup, Super Eagles players would not be paid their match bonuses ahead of the AFCON, which will kick off in Egypt in less than three weeks.
The Nigeria Football Federation, NFF Communications Director, Ademola Olajire stated that the players and technical crew would be paid their bonuses and allowances during the competition, adding that the country’s football ruling body has no plan to pay the players upfront the way they did before the 2018 World Cup.
Olajire explained that each player would receive five thousand dollars for every win at the group stage of the 2019 AFCON in Egypt, while each of them will receive fifteen thousand dollars for victory in the Round of 16. It would be recalled that members of the Super Eagles received all their entitlements two weeks before the 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia.
