Nigeria's Super Falcons are set to earn a massive payday after securing a place in the second round of the Women's World Cup.

Stars of Nigeria’s Super Falcons will have even more reason to celebrate their qualification for the Round of 16 of the Women’s World Cup apart from doing their country proud as they have now earned a massive payday as well.

Super Falcons qualify for Round of 16
For reaching the second round and being ranked between 9th to 16th, the Super Falcons are guaranteed at least $1,380,00 in prize money to be shared amongst the players, a figure that could rise depending on their progress in the competition.

The money promised to teams that reach the round of 16 by FIFA will amount to $60,000 per player when divided amongst the 23 Super Falcons squad members.

This comes to double the amount that the players were set to receive for playing in the group stages alone and will certainly serve as extra motivation for the Super Falcons to go even further.

Super Falcons eyeing huge payday
As they progress, the Super Falcons will enjoy larger financial rewards, and will see their earnings rise by another $30,000 to become $90,000 if they are able to scale past their round of 16 opponents.

If they go all the way to win the competition, each player on the Super Falcons’ team will receive up to $270,000 in prize money, the largest payout in Women’s World Cup history.

The Super Falcons still have a long way to go to reach the payday, but they will be quietly confident after pulling off major surprises already in the group stage.

Helper1000:
you are one of the problems of this country

Zxcvbnmghtr:


How can I be? I am always contented with what I have. I have observed over the years and have discovered that people just love complaining in this country.

You will come across people who are able to afford good shelter, good cloths, good car, good education, good health care and so much more still complaining as if nothing good is going on in their lives.

The level of ingratitude by Nigerians is unspeakable. It is a normal to always complain no matter what.

As for me, am grateful and happy. Cheers no hard feelings.
