NFF Makes U-turn, Pay Flying Eagles $1,500 Bonus Each

There are indications that the Nigeria Football Federation, NFF, is now willing to pay the full winning bonus to members of the Flying Eagles.

Indeed, officials have informed that the Flying Eagles were each paid $1,500 after their 2-0 win over Burundi in their opening U20 AFCON Group A clash last weekend.

This may well be a massive turnaround by the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF), who had earlier announced they will not pay match bonuses to the age-group national teams including the Flying Eagles. The NFF had complained that lack of funds forced them to adopt this policy against the age-group teams.
