Like it was last year, the Super Eagles again did not get paid for their efforts in a commendable comeback-draw with Russia.
Russia splashed out $1.2 million in June 2025 to get Nigeria play against them in a first-ever meeting at full international level.

This week, the Eagles, parading a makeshift team made up of as many as nine debutants, fought back to draw 3-3 with home team Russia.
It was understood that the NFF received $600,000 to honour this friendly.
The team did not receive even an appearance fee.
