Nigeria planning to boycott opening game of FIFA Women's World Cup
Nigeria are planning to boycott their opening game of the FIFA Women's World Cup, as the Nigerian Football Federation has denied to pay the players their bonuses.
Each player is set to receive a fixed amount for their participation in the group games. However, they were set to receive a bonus for their participation in those games as well, which the NFF hasn't paid yet. They're also thinking of sacking coach Randy Waldrum, who recently said in a podcast:
"I know we are not prepared the way we need to be … I've been very frustrated with the federation and the lack of support. We were supposed to have a camp for 10 to 12 days in Nigeria before going to Australia for another 10 to 15 days, but the federation cancelled the home camp."
He added:
"We have less days than a College pre-season to prepare for the World Cup, and it blows my mind because we've known about this since last year."
Fans will keep a keen eye on how the situation evolves. Barcelona femini's Asisat Oshoala is the captain of the Nigerian women's national team.
