Why Nigeria have not received Women's World Cup prize money yet - Fifa

The Federation Internationale de Football Association [Fifa] has confirmed why it has not paid 2019 Women's World Cup prize money to Nigeria.

The Super Falcons featured in each of the past editions since its inception in 1991 but only made it to the Round of 16 for the first time since 1999 last year before they were kicked out by Germany.

Despite a 3-0 defeat to the two-time world champions at Stade des Alpes in Grenoble, a Round of 16 qualification means the West African nation will receive one million US dollars as prize money.
