The Super Eagles have again been left grumbling after the NFF did not pay them any appearance fees for featuring in the friendlies against Iran and Jordan.

The Super Eagles beat Iran 2-1 before they were forced to a 2-2 draw by another 2026 World Cup-bound team Jordan in Antalya, Turkey.

The friendlies were organised by the Jordan Football Association (JFA), who will pay the NFF an appearance fee.

A source informed SCORENigeria: “The players were disappointed again with the NFF, they accused the NFF of empty promises and no payment.”

It is understood that the players are entitled to $2,000-a-man for each of the matches.

The NFF president Ibrahim Gusau, technical committee chairman Sharif Inuwa Ahlan and secretary general Mohammed Sanusi were all in Turkey for the friendlies.
