A dispute has emerged between the Super Eagles players and the Nigeria Football Federation over the sharing of the $4 million prize money received from the Confederation of African Football for reaching the final of the 2023 AFCON.The players are seeking 30% of the prize money, amounting to $1.2 million, while the NFF is offering 25%, equivalent to $1 million. According to a top official, 'There is no agreement yet between the players and the NFF on how the prize money should be shared.
CAF paid the AFCON prize money to the NFF last month, but the players and the federation have yet to reach a consensus on the sharing formula.It is worth recalling that at the 2019 AFCON in Egypt, where the team finished third, the players received 30% of the prize money paid to the NFF by CAF.It is learnt that some players have openly accused captain Ahmed Musa of not doing enough to ensure they receive their entitlements.The current disagreement specifically concerns the AFCON prize money.
