The Nigeria Football Federation has promised to improve on the US2000 Dollars winning bonus for the junior national team if they can beat their Egyptian counterparts in today’s semi final clash.
Speaking in Oran yesterday, leader of the Nigerian delegation to the championship and member of the Executive Committee of the NFF, Ahmed Yusuf Fresh said, “before we came here they used to receive 1OOO USD but the executive committee decided to increase it to 2OOO USD winning bonus. So, naturally, one expects an increment as they advance in the competition.
It cannot remain the same”, Fresh said without hinting how much the players would get if they win today’s encounter.
The NFF board member assured that the team was in a state of mind to do well. “There are no injury worries as all the players are fit to do battle.”
He however called on the coach to concentrate on shooting on target. “Every Nigerian wants to see the Flying Eagles win and win well.
It is not good for a team to create twenty chances in a match and score only one or two goals. They must improve in that aspect,” he said.
