Arsenal legend, Ian Wright, has waded into the controversy surrounding the payment dispute between the Nigeria Football Federation and the country’s women football team, Super Falcons.
The English TV personality, in a tweet using his verified handle on Thursday, wrote, “Pay them!!! @thenff,” with a flag of Nigeria attached to the post.
He made the post after the Nigerian female team recorded a stunning victory against Australia – the host country of the ongoing Women’s World Cup.
According to the Daily Mail, the Super Falcons will not be paid their tournament match bonuses following an announcement from FIFA that all players would receive around £15,760 (AUS$30,000) for participation in the group stages of the tournament.
