The General Secretary of Nigeria Football Federation (NFF), Dr. Mohammed Sanusi on Friday evening presented the sum of $1,000 to the Flying Eagles for their performance against Gli Azzurrini of Italy in the ongoing FIFA U20 World Cup in Argentina.
Sanusi had made the presentation on Friday evening in Buenos Aires after the Flying Eagles last training session ahead of the team’s encounter against Brazil on Saturday in La Plata.
The NFF scribe also gave out $100 to forward Emmanuel Umeh, who assisted the opening goal against Italy, for his tenacity and resilience in the build-up. He further charged the seven-time African champions to remain focused and relentless in their bid to top group D.

A thousand dollars each or one thousand dollars for the whole team?
What will the above money do??? 1000usd and 100usd in this era of inflation, NFF onigbese!!!
If 1000$ for each player, then it’s a nice gesture.
Is this not the man they say is making money more than the president of the country. na wa o
This Nff is a disgrace, what is a thousand dollars to the whole team;How much will be shared among them? The should pay those boys their match bonuses. Corrupt people
Good point Isreal Abia.
Now that our boys lost, I hope they will still get paid.
The amount is small, but it’s still better than nothing, which is what the boys would have got if the former NFF were still in office. Like say na those former NFF guys still dey there, shingbain NO GO DROP.
My guy Pompei park well. Leave the NFF to motivate the boy how they like. This requires no comment. When it comes to football analysis, I own you.
Leave story.
