Falcons to receive $60,000 for last 16 slot

Each Super Falcons player will earn $60,000 match bonus if the former African champions reach the Round of 16 at the ongoing 2023 Women’s World Cup.

Randy Waldrum’s side needs a point from their last group game against debutants, Republic of Ireland, on Monday (today) to confirm their place in the knockout round.

Each member of the 23-woman squad is already guaranteed $30,000 for participating in the group stage.

A place in the Round of 16 will see each player earn another $30,000, totalling $60,000.

The Nigerian Football Federation is also not left out of the largesse, as the body, who already pocketed $1,560,000 for the Falcons participation in the competition, will earn another $310,000, totalling $1,870,000 should the team earn a favourable result against the Irish and progress to the knockout stage.
