•Eagles to get $150,000
•Each player to get $3,000 per game as appearance fees
•No match bonuses for either victories or drawn games
Sportinglife can reveal exclusively today that the three federations (Nigeria Football Federation (NFF), their Cameroonian and Congolese counterparts have agreed to share the gate-takings of the two international friendlies against the Super Eagles on October 8 and 11 on a 50-50 basis.
Sportinglife scooped further that the three federations decided to pay their players’ movement during the tournament, their accomodation and allowances, in a bid to secure the October 2015 FIFA free days for international friendlies across the globe.
Interestingly, each of the 25 Super Eagles players invited for the friendly matches will be paid $3,000 per game.
The culminative effect of this arrangement shows that the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) will cough out $150,000 as appearance fees for the two matches for each of the 25 players at $6,000 for the two matches against Congo and Cameroon.
It was gathered further that the NFF directed its accounts department to send to each of the invited players a return ticket, a developemnt meant to stall the ridiculous figures spent on ticket refunds to players when they purchased them.
Sportinglife gathered also that no player would be paid a dime as bonuses, even if the team wins or draws the two matches against Congo in Mons and Cameroon at the 12,000 capacity Stade Van Roy in Denderleeuw, Belgium.
