The FIFA Secretary General Ms Fatma Samoura addressed the Super Falcons yesterday after their match with Ireland stating that for the first time in history, their cash prize will be paid directly to them.
This decision was taken specifically because of football players like them who haven't really enjoyed the benefits that come with what they do.
They were considered because the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) is owing them and has refused to pay them their dues.
She told the Super Falcons that she understands their plight and how it's tough on them to face the harsh reality of Nigeria.
However, each player is entitled to a prize money of 60,000 pounds.
Yesterday, former Arsenal player Ian Wright also called out the NFF on Twitter asking them to pay the Super Falcons what they owe them.
The Super Falcons have played pretty well in this year's FIFA world cup and they have now qualified for the last round of 16 after their draw with Ireland. Their next match is with England on 7th August, 2023.
