Super Falcons Get Paltry 10,000 Naira After Qualifying For 2016 Africa Women Cup

Nigeria's senior women national team were handed 10,000 Naira ($50) each after they successfully booked a ticket to the 2016 Africa Women Cup of Nations on Tuesday.

The reigning champions defeated the Teranga Lionesses of Senegal 2-0 in the second leg, final round at the National Stadium, Abuja on Tuesday and advanced 3-1 on aggregate for Cameroon 2016.

Nigeria's goals were scored by Rita Chikwelu and Osarenoma Igbinovia.

This is in contrast with the senior men's team that gets paid $4000 for a draw and $5000 for a win. The men failed to qualify for the Africa Cup of Nations for a second straight year last month.

This is not the first time national teams have been poorly treated. In 2015, the victorious Golden Eaglets were decamped with N20,000 after winning the FIFA U17 World Cup.
