Nigeria failed to train in Campinas on Thursday following disagreement over payment of appearance fees accruing to the team for reaching the second round.

Goal learnt that the players asked for a meeting with the team's management where they requested that their part of the money expected from FIFA for sailing past the first round, be paid them by the Nigerian government.


Even though FIFA is yet to release the funds, the players said the Nigeria Football Federation should provide it before they play against France on Monday.

Their argument is that if they leave the tournament on Monday, it would be difficult for them to retrieve the money from the NFF.

On Wednesday, Nigeria reached the second round for the first time since 1998.
