Nigeria’s Super Eagles will pocket $15,000 each after clinching third place in the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations tournament.
Originally, this bonus was allocated for reaching the semi-finals, where they suffered a heartbreaking 4-2 penalty shootout defeat against Morocco’s Atlas Lions.
According to SCORENigeria, the squad has been paid all outstanding win bonuses except for the third-place playoff.
In a show of support, billionaire philanthropist Abdul Samad Rabiu fulfilled his promise by donating $500,000 to the team.
Following the tournament, the players have returned to their respective clubs across the globe.
Notably, the team was absent during Sunday’s medal ceremony, sparking mixed reactions among fans.
