Players of Nigeria’s Super Eagles have reportedly expressed dissatisfaction over the non-payment of appearance fees following their recent international friendlies in Turkey, NigeriaSoccernet.com understands.
The team secured a 2–1 win against Iran national football team before settling for a 2–2 draw with Jordan national football team in Antalya, in matches organised by the Jordan Football Association.
Despite the fixtures reportedly generating appearance fees payable to the Nigeria Football Federation, players are said to have yet to receive their entitlements, leading to frustration within the squad.
A source close to the team revealed that the situation has reignited concerns over delayed payments. “The players were disappointed again with the NFF. They feel there have been too many promises without fulfillment,” the source said.
It is understood that each player is entitled to $2,000 per match for their participation in the friendlies.
Top officials of the NFF, including president Ibrahim Gusau, Technical Committee chairman Sharif Inuwa Ahlan, and Secretary General Mohammed Sanusi, were present in Turkey during the matches.
The development marks the latest in a series of disputes involving player payments and allowances, an issue that has repeatedly surfaced within the national team setup in recent years.
