The Super Eagles of Nigeria may have crashed out of the ongoing 2018 World Cup and have their hopes of bringing home the trophy dashed but they alongside other teams that crashed out will be paid £6.1 million each by the football governing body, FIFA. Super Eagles would have received £9.1 million if the match against Argentina ended in their favour. This is because any team eliminated from the round of 16 stage will receive £9.1million. The World Cup winning team will receive £28 million in prize money from FIFA, with 2nd, 3rd and 4th place teams receiving £21million, £18million and £16million respectively. What this means is that for the World Cup winners, each player in the 23 man squad would pocket £1.2million. It is also gathered that the 32 teams were also given £1.1million each to prepare for the tournament. Created at 2018-07-02 05:11:02
