The Super Falcons of Nigeria will get their prize money for participating in the 2023 Women’s World Cup directly from the Federation of International Football Association (FIFA).
FIFA Secretary-General, Fatma Samoura disclosed this to the Nigerian women’s team on Monday in their dressing room at Brisbane’s Suncorp Stadium following their 0-0 draw with the Republic of Ireland in their final group game of the World Cup.
“It is because of you (the Super Falcons) that for the first time in the history of FIFA the Women’s World Cup prize money will be paid directly to you, the players,” Samoura said in a video posted by UK-based Nigerian journalist, Osasu Obayiuwana.
Obayiuwana also said that he was told by FIFA’s director for Africa, Gelson Fernandes, that Samoura who will be leaving her position with football’s international governing body in a few months has given him the mandate to ensure that the money is received by the players.
