NFF agrees $30,000 Super Eagles bonus for AFCON 2025 Round of 16
The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) has agreed to pay Super Eagles players $30,000 each for reaching the Round of 16 at AFCON Morocco 2025, doubling their initial $15,000 offer after the team's rejection. Bonuses for later rounds have also been settled with the players. The team has earned an additional $25,000 in goals bonuses, with $5,000 per goal across their five strikes in two matches, making them the tournament's top scorers so far. Under coach Eric Chelle, Nigeria shows attacking flair unlike the defensive style under Jose Peseiro at AFCON 2023, though they've conceded three goals without a clean sheet by Stanley Nwabali. This motivation comes as Super Eagles prepare for their final Group C match against Uganda after wins over Tanzania (2-1) and Tunisia (3-2).
