FIFA To Pay World Cup Money Directly To Players by 001Lagos: 7:23am On Aug 02, 2023

World football body FIFA has announced its plan to pay prize money directly into the players’ accounts of the winners of the ongoing women’s World Cup in Australia/New Zealand.

FIFA Secretary-General, Fatma Samoura, confirmed this in a viral video on social media saying the policy change is due to unpaid allowance issues involving Nigeria’s Super Falcons.

The Falcons head coach, Randy Waldrum, had earlier revealed that some players were owed “per diem and bonuses” from two years ago.

The development caused a stir and almost affected the preparation of the Super Falcon players with most of them insisting on missing the training to protest their unpaid bonuses.


However, in the video, Samoura acknowledged that “things have been tough” for the Falcons.

Waldrum not afraid of potential England clash
She added that FIFA for the first time would monitor that match bonuses got to the players directly.

“I know that things have been tough. We have to face the realities of Nigeria. It pains me a lot. It is because of you (the Super Falcons) that, for the first time, the prize money has been ring-fenced in the history of FIFA to ensure that it goes to you,” the FIFA secretary-general said.

Of course, the chief wailer himself would swallow anything to dent the image of his country.

How does standing on the path of truth and speaking up for the oppressed mean that I hate my country?

If you truly love your country as you've claimed and want the country to move forward, you won't be all over the place defending a dirty character like Bola Tinubu.

My country has been externally and eternally damaged by the broom carriers. The world now sees us as the most corrupt. All thanks majorly due to how the broom carriers have managed and still managing our affairs.
The old, sickly wrinkled face of a president and his cronies who may have been salivating and licking their lips on how to steal the money will now have to put back their drug infested tongue into their mouth.

The only thing Igbo's on this forum supported successfully since 2015 that came exactly to reality, na the support of Ipob, UGM to destroy their own region. Such are the path of truth you stand with on K leg
