Aisha Falode, the chair of the Nigerian Women’s Football League (NWFL), clarified that FIFA will pay the 2023 Women’s World Cup (WWC) prize money through the country’s federations, not directly to the players. 

She made this statement during a conversation with Lagos Talks FM.

Following the Super Falcons’ qualification to the second round of the WWC, FIFA’s secretary-general, Fatma Samoura, stated that the World Cup prize money would be “ring-fenced” to ensure it reaches the players without interference from third parties.
