This is a bit of a shame. These players will see it as something being taken away from them which isn't a morale booster.

Nigeria should source funding for this!

Random question: are they doing the same for the Eagles?

Pathetic excuses.

Did Pinnick also abolish his own salaries?

The administrators eat the bulk of the money n travel in business class while its the players and coaches that draw the spectators and the money in.

What happened to the funds gotten from the FIFA goal project
Every year, FIFA gives its members lump sums for developmental projects and programs including direct cash funding for youth team.

When people talk about corruption, they focus solely on some areas while under reporting others.

GraceBestowed:


If they could not afford to do this, they should not have started it. These players are used to receiving their bonuses and have probably taken up financial responsibilities in line with their income. Taking the money away from them is never a morale booster.

Yes, Nigeria should source funding for this because when they go wherever they go, they represent Nigeria.

Also, it may not mean much to others, but to these players, football is their livelihood, their job! Why then are they expected to accept something that is unfavourable when they give up so much to try to be the best they can!?

We can't just focus on the old, these are up and coming footballers that will do Nigeria (a massive football loving nation) proud!

Nigeria abolish bonuses for world champions Eaglets

Cash-strapped Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) have abolished match bonuses for the country’s developmental teams led by five-time U17 world champions Golden Eaglets, president Amaju Pinnick has announced.


The other developmental teams are U17 female team, the Flamingoes, U13 and U15 national teams.

“The players of these national teams will no longer be entitled to match bonus because of lack of funds caused by the economic downturn in the country,” a top official informed.

Pinnick admitted the NFF's poor finances on a television programme on Thursday.

“Funding has been very, very poor for the federation,” restated the NFF boss, who ruled out speculations that some of the national teams will be scraped because of the cash crunch.

The NFF have budgeted more than seven billion Naira for 2016 with most of the cash coming from government subvention.
