Breaking: Super Falcons Players Receive Bank Alerts
Players of the victorious Super Falcons team
have started receiving bank alerts of their
outstanding entitlements owed by the Nigeria
Football Federation (NFF) over two weeks after
winning the 2016 African Women Cup of Nations
(AWCON) in Cameroun, SR Sports can report.
SR Sports scooped from some of the players who
revealed after receiving their bank alerts of 4.6
million naira that they are grateful to President
Muhamadu Buhari for coming to their aid, but
were disappointed for receiving far below what
the NFF promised them before they left their
Agura Hotel in Abuja last Friday.
“We were promised to be paid above five million
naira by the NFF, but were surprised to receive
an alert of just above four million naira this
morning. We are grateful but still demand our full
payment by the NFF,” one of the players told SR
Sports.
She continued: “We also want to thank Nigerians,
the media and everyone that stood by the truth
and supported us all through; we are more than
grateful to them. We are also asking the NFF to
pay up our bonuses for the qualification of the
AWCON, some of the players that played the
qualifiers didn’t make it to Cameroun because of
injury and they also deserve to be paid
allowances and bonuses for qualification.”
However, Falconets players who represented
Nigeria at the lastest FIFA U-20 Women’s World
Cup held in Papua New Guinea have also
decided to embark on their proposed protest in
Abuja on Tuesday (tomorrow) if they don’t
receive any bank alerts on Monday (today) as
promised by the NFF.
According to the players, a board member of the
NFF last Friday pleaded with them not to go on
protest as he promised they will receive bank
alerts the same day as the Falcons, but as of this
morning, SR Sports learnt none of them have
received alerts, which might necessitate the
Falconets players to embark on their planned
protest on Tuesday.
