Nigeria’s U-20 Women National Team star,
Courtney Dike, has explained why she
rejected bonus payments at the FIFA U-20
Women’s World Cup finals in Canada.
The Oklahoma State University student wrote
in a mail: “I would like to respond to what I
have been reading on the internet about
rejecting bonuses.
“I am delighted to play for Nigeria whenever
called upon. I knew before leaving for the
U-20 World Cup that I would not accept any
bonuses. Acceptance of prize money is
against NCAA regulations (the division 1
collegiate governing body) here in the US, so
that is the main reason for rejecting it.
“Knowing this beforehand, I still chose to
represent the country because I believed the
experience would be more valuable than the
money, and I was right.”
