Super Falcons: Five players get Women's World Cup entitlements

Five players of the Nigeria women's team initially owed bonuses for playing at the Women's World Cup in France have been paid, Goal can exclusively confirm.

On October 2, Goal reported that goalkeeper Chiamaka Nnadozie, defender Chidinma Okeke, forwards Ogonna Chukwudi, Alice Ogebe and Chinwendu Ihezuo were yet to get their entitlements.

However, Goal has now learnt the affected players were paid after the team was bounced out of the Tokyo 2020 Women's Olympic Qualifiers by Cote d'Ivoire at the Agege Stadium on Monday.
