2014 World Cup: Enyeama, other players get $130,000 each
According to reports, Super Eagles goalkeeper Vincent Enyeama and a few
other players received $130,000 ( N21 million) each as appearance fee
for the 2014 World
Cup in Brazil.
“It
was not a flat rate, but some of the players like Enyeama, who were
involved in both the qualifiers as well as the World Cup in Brazil got
as much as $130,000,” an official told AfricanFootball.com. The money is outside the match bonus and daily allowances they were paid. Team officials were also reportedly not left out as some of them received $25,000. But According to the football site, there
were disagreements over the money, particularly as regards whether those who qualified
the team for Brazil 2014 should also get part of the appearance fee.
"There
was a big issue among the senior players whether those who were
part of the qualifiers should also get something. At the end of the day,
Joseph Yobo prevailed that they also have to be included.
So, even some players like John Utaka & Raheem Lawal, who played
just a couple of qualifiers, will also get something" An official said
