Reports emanating from Morocco in the early hours of Wednesday states that the Super Falcons players have refused a scheduled training session this morning as players were demanding the immediate payment of their appearance fee, Nigeriasoccernet.com can report.
As revealed to Nigeriasoccernet.com by a close source, the NFF is understood to have promised to pay allowances at the ongoing WAFCON tournament, but the Falcons are yet to receive the promises.
It is not the first time the Super Falcons and the NFF have clashed over unpaid bonuses and allowances.
Eighteen years ago, the team remained in their hotel in South Africa for three days after the Nigeria FA, as the NFF was then called, failed to pay their bonuses for winning the 2004 African Women’s Championship.
Nigerian teams have frequently been affected by pay disputes with coaches regularly going unpaid and players boycotting training during qualifiers or at tournaments over unpaid bonuses.
The Falcons are scheduled to take on Zambia on Friday at the Stade Mohamed V, Casablanca on Friday in the bronze medal match.
