The Federal Government has fulfilled President Bola Tinubu’s reward pledge to the Super Falcons following their historic victory at the 2025 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON).
Each player has received the naira equivalent of $100,000, estimated at ₦134.09 million, based on an exchange rate of ₦1,340.92 to the dollar. Coaches and other team officials received $50,000 each, equivalent to approximately ₦67.05 million.
The National Sports Commission (NSC), which announced the disbursement, said the payments were part of the presidential reward package for the team’s record-extending 10th WAFCON title.
Beyond the cash rewards, each player and official had earlier received a three-bedroom apartment in Abuja and the national honour of Officer of the Order of the Niger (OON).
Nigeria secured the title in July after staging a remarkable comeback to defeat hosts Morocco 3-2 in the final, overturning a two-goal deficit.
