Nigeria’s Super Falcons have refused to leave their hotel in France in protest against non-payment of bonuses by the Nigeria Football Federation. Falcons were dumped out of the Fifa Women World Cup holding France on Saturday by Germany. A player told ESPN that only half of the N2 million owed for the Gambia and Senegal matches has been paid. “Before the World Cup, we asked them for a meeting so that we could discuss our World Cup bonuses like they did with the men’s team last year. NFF president Amaju Pinnick said the players are not owed any outstanding bonuses except the World Cup participation fee.
