The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) are broke and have therefore been forced to put aside proposed enhanced win bonuses for the AFCON.
Head of NFF finance committee Shehu Adamu informed MTNFootball.com that there would be no added incentives for the Super Eagles to win the Nations Cup.
Adamu told MTNFootball.com that the football house would maintain the regular win bonus of $10,000 and $5,000 for draw in South Africa
“We are not preparing anything special as incentives for the Eagles. It’s the regular bonus they would get,” Adamu disclosed.
The NFF had proposed huge bonuses that would have gone for as much as $30,000-a-man for a win in the AFCON final.
Such is the financial constraints facing the NFF that they have been forced to borrow cash for the country’s AFCON campaign after a Lagos court froze their accounts over a contractual dispute with Minaj Television.
The budget approved by the government for the Nations Cup has yet to be released to the NFF two days to the big AFCON kick-off in Johannesburg despite assurances from top sports ministry officials.
“We are yet to receive the money for the Nations Cup and this has slowed down a lot of plans for the tournament,” a top official lamented.
“We are not even sure when the money would be released. We are only hopeful that it would come in on time to avoid hiccups at the games in South Africa.”
Caf should be the ones to pay the bonuses for all participating teams as they make a lot of money from television rights and sponsorship. This would even make the competition fairer as all teams would get the same amount for draws and wins.

@Bond, Ur senseless typical Ghanaman ape. Going through most of the posts in this boring forum, you’d realize that Ghanaians are typically dumb, naive, foolish & dull. My state River State is the richer than Ghana. Africa Richest man, Aliko Dangote will buy the whole Ghana and still have balance. Mike Adenuga, Nigerian owner of Glo telecommunication in Ghana is the one sponsoring Ghana league and Ghana Black Stars. Nigeria former president, Olusegue Obasenjo gave 1500 Hilarous Jeeps to useless Ghana police force.
Are not ashamed of your own comment, why dont you work hard urself and buy Ghana if you think my state is that rich, are you rich yourself?? So your state might be rich you are broke as fu@k and need to ask uir state to help ur broke ass.
@supastar, Ghana is the name of an ugly animal called Baboon, the name of senseless animal called Pig and also the name of stupid animal called Idiot.
