Super Falcons put up a spectacular performance at the ongoing FIFA Women’s World Cup which earned the team receiving plaudits across the world. The nine times African champions were eliminated at the Round of 16 by the Three Lionesses of England (4-2) via penalties. The team has however had backlogs of unpaid bonuses and allowances issues before the commencement of the mundial but swept it aside to allow them concentrate on the world cup assignment. The social media was agog with different football stakeholders urging the NFF to pay the Super Falcons players their entitlements. This dragged the federation and Nigeria names in the mud.
