    AFCON chaos: Opener in Cairo thrown into doubt as Zimbabwe players threaten to BOYCOTT game with hosts Egypt over pay row... after reigning champions Cameroon refuse to leave hotel following dispute over bonuses


    Zimbabwe players are threatening to boycott the opening game of the Africa Cup of Nations against host Egypt because they haven't been paid.

    Players and a team official, who spoke to the Associated Press on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the situation, said a meeting with federation officials at the team hotel on Thursday failed to resolve the stand-off.

    Zimbabwe are due to open Africa's top tournament against Egypt on Friday in Cairo.

        Nigeria players are staging a sit-in protest, refusing to leave their hotel in France until all of their outstanding bonuses are paid, following the team's elimination from the Women's World Cup on Saturday.

        Players told ESPN they are owed bonuses from two games, against Gambia and Senegal, from as far back as two years ago, amounting to 2 million Nigerian naira (about $5,600 U.S.), but they have been paid only half of that. They also say they are owed five days of daily allowance while at the World Cup.

        "They paid us 1 million [naira] and said that is all. We want them to pay the balance," one player told ESPN. "Part of that money is from two years ago, the other is from three years ago. And they are also owing us five days daily allowance here in France.

        "Before the World Cup, we asked them for a meeting so that we could discuss our World Cup bonuses like they did with the men's team last year. They ignored the letter and nobody said anything about it until now."
