Sportinglife can reveal exclusively today that each of the 25 players invited for the international friendly matches against Congo on October 8 and against the Indomitable lions of Cameroon on October 11 will be paid $3,000 per game.

The culminative effect of this arrangement shows that the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) will cough out $150,000 as appearance fees for the two matches for each of the 25 players at $3,000 per game.
