NFF to Lose N15.2 Billion for Super Eagles' World Cup Qualification Failure
The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) is set to miss out on N15.2 billion in prize money after the Super Eagles failed to qualify for the 2026 World Cup. FIFA announced that each of the 48 teams participating in the tournament will receive a minimum of USD 10.5 million (N15.2 billion).
The breakdown of prize money includes various amounts for different stages of the competition, with the champion set to receive USD 50 million. This missed opportunity will impact the financial standing of the NFF, which heavily relies on FIFA handouts.
Similar to the 2026 World Cup, Nigeria also missed out on significant earnings from the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.
