EXCLUSIVE: Super Eagles, NFF in fresh bonus dispute

Published

on

SCORENigeria can exclusively report that the Super Eagles are locked in a fresh bonus row with the NFF.

It was specially gathered that the Super Eagles have demanded that they be paid semifinal win bonus of $17,000-a-man for finishing third at the last AFCON in Morocco.

They lost the semifinal to hosts Morocco via penalties, before they went on to win also through a penalty shootout the third-place match against Egypt.

Sources informed SCORENigeria that the NFF have not responded positively to this demand by the players.

It would be recalled that last November the team staged a pay strike on the eve of CAF final 2026 World Cup Playoffs also in Morocco before the intervention of the Government.

Will Iwobi’s 100 caps stand?

Published

on

Record keepers have questioned the 100 caps for the Super Eagles credited to Alex Iwobi.

The Super Eagles presented the Fulham star with a plaque to mark his milestone appearance before Wednesday night’s friendly against Portugal.

However, the records showed that FIFA chalked off a 2018 World Cup qualifier in Algeria after the game was forfeited by Nigeria for fielding an ineligible player – Shehu Abdullahi.

Also, FIFA also chalked off a friendly against Togo in 2017 because of the record number of substitutes played in the game.

That would then mean that Iwobi is on 98 caps, two games away from the Century milestone…
