Sodiq OyelekeThe Nigeria Football Federation has denied owing players and officials of the senior women national team, Super Falcons any money. The statement read in part, “The monies for the Super Falcons’ preparation and participation at the FIFA Women’s World Cup finals in France were recently approved by President Muhammadu Buhari. “The NFF is indeed encouraged by results achieved by the Super Falcons in France, being the first time the team qualified to the knockout rounds in the last 20 years with credible performance against some of the world’s best teams. “At the time the Super Falcons set out to play Germany on June 22, the NFF had in spite of the challenges, ensured it met all its obligations to the players. “In truth, the NFF is very much bewildered as to why the Super Falcons chose to embark on this route.”Copyright PUNCH.
