Hope is now on the horizon for the Super Eagles after several months of back and forth over the payment of a bonus for the team after they finished third best at the 2025 AFCON.
The Super Eagles have demanded they be paid $17,500 each for beating Egypt on penalties in the losers’ final of the 2025 AFCON in February.
SCORENigeria has scooped that the cash is now with the NFF.
A top source told only SCORENigeria: “The NFF have acknowledged receiving the Naira equivalent of the third-place bonus from the National Sports Commission (NSC).
“It is now left for the NFF to pay the team.”
This should be a huge boost to the Super Eagles as they face Tanzania in a must-win 2027 AFCON qualifying double-header beginning with the first leg in Uyo tomorrow.
