Ahead of the third-place match against Zambia in the ongoing Women’s Africa Cup of Nations, WAFCON in Morocco, Nigeria’s senior Female National football team the Super Falcons have boycotted training ahead of their Friday’s encounter in Casablanca.
The Randy Waldrum led ladies on Monday lost their semi-final match against host Morocco in a 4-5 penalty shootout.
The team which arrived at Casablanca on Tuesday ahead of their Friday match have reportedly refused to train due to accumulated match bonuses.
According to the report from Morocco, the players refused to train saying that the federal ministry of youth and sports as well as the Nigeria Football Federation, NFF have refused to pay them their match bonuses since the competition started on July 2nd.
“Breaking: The @NGSuper_Falcons #TeamNigeria boycotted training this morning, ahead of their #WAFCON2022 third-place match against #TeamZambia @Copper_Queens. Do I need to state the reason? Wahala don come, as predicted…
“I received a call from an @thenff exco member, complaining that the @NigeriaFMYS, headed by @SundayDareSD, is yet to pay any bonuses to the @NGSuper_Falcons for the #WAFCON campaign in Morocco.
“The players have not received one penny of the bonuses due to them at this tournament. The @NigeriaFMYS has not given us a dime for them. The minister, @SundayDareSD, has not said a word to us. The girls have not complained and have given everything here,” the person alleged.
“No one should take these girls for granted, even though they have not complained. No one should be surprised when there is a strong reaction. These girls know their rights & they won’t take this for too long. The right thing should be done, before they react.”
