Following new negotiations with the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF), Super Eagles players will receive $30,000 each for making it to the Round of 16 in the current 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON).
The Super Eagles rejected an earlier offer of $15,000 per player, according to ScoreNigeria. Following negotiations, a new amount of $30,000 was reached, which is better than the bonuses received at the most recent AFCON in Cote d’Ivoire. Additionally, incentive packages for the tournament’s latter stages have been agreed upon by both parties.
According to reports, on Saturday, December 27, the Super Eagles defeated the Carthage Eagles of Tunisia 3-2, securing qualification with one game remaining and securing their spot in the knockout stages.
Later today at 5 p.m., Eric Chelle’s team will play their last Group C game against the Cranes of Uganda.
Winger Samuel Chukwueze had a lighthearted moment during training as he expressed his opinions about the circumstances in Morocco, apart from the bonus negotiations.
As the players go for a team stroll, Chukwueze informs teammate Alex Iwobi, “I don’t like this weather [in Morocco], it’s like London.”
Iwobi questioned Chukwueze, “But you like London?”
“My guy, with the weather in London, you can at least see the bright future,” the AC Milan loanee retorted.
Nigeria has had a great start to the competition, defeating Tanzania and Tunisia to take the lead in Group C with six points.
