Super Eagles to receive N5.6bn from FIFA If they qualify for World Cup

By Lawrence Oshodi –

World football governing body FIFA has promised Super Eagles the sum of €12.2m (N5.6bn) if they qualify for the Qatar 2022 World Cup.

The competition which will feature teams from 32 countries, will be taking place from November 21 to December 18.

If the Super Eagles team defeats the Blacks Stars of Ghana, this would be their seventh World Cup appearance. The first leg is billed for the Baba Yara Stadium on Friday (today) March 25, while the second leg holds in Abuja on Tuesday March 29.

FIFA recently increased the qualifying bonus from €10m to €12.2m to help teams that qualify for the tournament to prepare well.

Recall that when the Nigerian team qualified for the 2018 World Cup in Russia, they received €10m from FIFA.
