Super Falcons protest unpaid bonuses in France after Women's World Cup exit

Players and officials of the Nigerian women's team staged a sit-in protest in Grenoble on Sunday.

On Saturday, the Super Falcons lost 3-0 to Germany in the Round of 16 but refused to leave their Mecure Hotel in protest over their unpaid bonuses and other outstanding payments.

It is the third time Nigeria's women's team will stage a sit-in protest over bonuses since 2004 in South Africa and 2016 in Abuja. The previous two occasions were after winning the Africa Cup.
