Nigeria to pay penalty fee to change hotel

FIFA says the Nigerian Football Association will pay a penalty fee after changing its World Cup hotel.



FIFA says the Nigerian team had dumped the Hampshire Hotel north of Durban in favor of the Hotel Waterfront in Richards Bay, further up South Africa\'s east coast.



FIFA did not say how much the fine would be, but reports in Nigeria say the government has agreed to pay $125,000 to cancel the contract.



Nigeria sent a delegation to Durban last week led by sport minister Ibrahim Isah Bio.



The delegation complained the hotel was noisy, mosquito-infested and unsafe.
