Nigeria's World Cup players were each offered a $102,500 incentive to win the World Cup, with the national federation saying it had reached an agreement with the squad over their traditionally troublesome bonus payments. Nigeria arrived days late for the Confederations Cup in Brazil last year and nearly threw the World Cup warm-up tournament into chaos after the squad, protesting against the slashing of their payments, refused to leave a hotel and travel. The Nigeria Football Federation said that the latest World Cup bonuses had been sorted out, but only announced it on the eve of Monday's opening game against Iran. Squad members, including Chelsea's John Obi Mikel and Liverpool's Victor Moses, will get $10,000 each for every group stage win at the World Cup, $12,500 for winning in the round of 16, another $15,000 for winning a quarterfinal, $20,000 for the semifinals and $25,000 for lifting the trophy.
