FIFPRO, the global union for professional footballers, issued a statement on behalf of Nigeria‘s national women’s football team, the Super Falcons, on Tuesday.

FIFPRO expressed its commitment to working closely with the Super Falcons players to ensure that their contractual rights are upheld and that the unpaid payments are resolved by the NFF.

The decision by FIFPRO to intervene comes in the aftermath of the Super Falcons’ elimination from the Round of 16 of the ongoing FIFA Women’s World Cup in Australia and New Zealand.

It’s important to note that this situation underscores the ongoing issues in women’s football related to remuneration and player welfare.

FIFA’s recent change in policy regarding player remuneration is a response to concerns about unpaid allowances faced by women’s football teams in various countries, aiming to ensure that prize money directly reaches the players without any hindrance.

The FIFPRO statement reads:

“Following the Nigeria women’s national team’s elimination from the FIFA Women’s World Cup, FIFPRO can confirm it is assisting players in a disagreement with the Nigeria Football Federation concerning bonus payments, camp allowances, and expenses, some of which date back to 2021,” the FIFPRO statement read in part

“During the World Cup, the players expressed the desire to remain focused on their performance without making public statements or facing other distractions.

“However, the Super Falcons believe that it is now time for the Nigeria Football Federation to honour their commitments and pay the outstanding amounts.”

“The team is extremely frustrated that they have had to pursue the Nigeria Football Federation for these payments before and during the tournament and may have to continue doing so afterward. It is regrettable that players needed to challenge their federation at such an important time in their careers,” the FIFPRO statement added.

“FIFPRO will continue to work with the players to ensure their contractual rights are honoured and the outstanding payments are settled.”

Nunez’s crucial moment came in the form of a penalty kick in the second half. Just before Nunez stepped up to take the penalty, Virgil van Dijk briefly held the ball and appeared as though he might take the spot-kick himself. This momentary delay allowed Nunez to maintain his composure and focus on the task at hand.

Van Dijk also emphasized the significance of the mental aspect of these high-pressure moments in matches, highlighting the importance of maintaining one’s composure and mental fortitude when facing critical situations.

He said: “You have to make sure you protect at least the penalty spot. It’s a bit of a mind game there – maybe they were going to try and get in your head.

“It was always the plan that Darwin was going to take it, and I’m glad he scored.”

Van Dijk additionally added that Nunez is beginning to show the world what’s really going on with him:

“Darwin was very important for us against LASK and long may it continue. Up front, the competition is quite good.”

“They all have to push each other and it’s good to see. Everyone has a role to play whether you start or not. Everyone has now seen the potential and the quality he has.”
