Nigeria reached the knockout stages at the World Cup where they were eventually eliminated by England on penalties after a 0-0 draw in their last-16 match on Monday. "FIFPRO can confirm it is assisting players in a disagreement with the Nigeria Football Federation concerning bonus payments, camp allowances and expenses, some of which date back to 2021," it said in a statement. "During the World Cup, the players expressed the desire to remain focused on their performance without making public statements or facing other distractions. "However, the Super Falcons believe that it is now time for the Nigeria Football Federation to honour their commitments and pay the outstanding amounts." "The team is extremely frustrated that they have had to pursue the Nigeria Football Federation for these payments before and during the tournament and may have to continue doing so afterwards," FIFPRO added.

Through the competition they made a mockery of their world ranking of 40 with a blend of pace, power and organisation. "They've been fantastic the whole tournament," coach Randy Waldrum told reporters after the England loss. I want to stay with this team and continue working towards the Olympics (next year). For now, Nigeria should be lauded for the quality they produced on the field and the potential they have to go further with this squad. "We don't want to take the success now and not continue to move forward when we get back to Nigeria," Waldrum said.
