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.

The match ended in a 1-1 draw with striker Tolu Arokodare scoring the equaliser for the Super Eagles.

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.

“Again no kobo was paid the team and there were no promises of anything going forward.” a source informed SCORENigeria

Gift Monday joined Washington Spirit in March 2025 from UD Tenerife of Spain.

She scored 12 goals and made three assists in 48 appearances for the American club.
