Eagles get bonus for Algeria win
•NFF silent on Zambia win Super
Eagles will enjoy a merry Christmas as they will be paid their win bonus of
$5,000-a-man for a 3-1 home win over Algeria in a World Cup tie latest Friday,
officials have informed.
A top team official was compiling the
account details of the players at the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) office
yesterday.
The players will be paid in Naira at
the official rate of N305 a dollar, meaning they will each pocket N1.5m each.
The Eagles bonus was part of the most recent government bailout
that paid the
Super Falcons for winning a record eighth women’s AFCON in Cameroon recently.
However, no mention was made of the
bonus for the 2-1 win in another World Cup qualifier in Zambia in October. The
win bonus is also $5,000-a-man. Nigeria lead their World Cup qualifying group
with six points from two matches. Cameroon are second with two points from as
many matches. Zambia and Algeria have recorded a point apiece.
