President Bola Tinubu, through a statement from his media centre, has confirmed that the outstanding payments owed by the federal government to the Super Eagles and other national sports teams have been cleared. This includes 15 months of salaries for senior national team coaches, as well as allowances and promises owed to the senior national teams, females, and under-20 national teams.

 

The statement mentioned that President Tinubu has approved the payment of N12 billion, addressing the backlog owed to Nigeria's national teams across various sports, including the Super Eagles. This news comes as the Super Eagles are preparing for the upcoming Africa Cup of Nations, scheduled to begin later this month.

 

It was revealed by a source within the Nigeria Football Federation that funds allocated for the Super Falcons and the Flying Eagles had to be redirected to support the Super Eagles' preparation for the tournament. Additionally, in January 2022, Super Eagles captain Ahmed Musa disclosed that the players were owed bonuses for two games. Musa expressed that the team planned to discuss the matter with the coach and officials from the Nigeria Football Federation to progress forward.
