Super Eagles Set to Receive Outstanding AFCON Match Bonuses

The Federal Government has confirmed that the Super Eagles’ match bonuses for the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations have cleared all necessary regulatory approvals.

Minister of State for Finance Doris Uzoka-Anite said in a statement on Thursday that the payments would begin reflecting in the players’ domiciliary accounts “starting today or tomorrow.”

The announcement comes after the Super Eagles threatened on Wednesday to boycott their travel to Marrakesh for their quarter-final match over unpaid allowances.

Nigeria is set to face Algeria on Saturday in Marrakesh, about five hours from their base in Fez. Players and officials had insisted they would not make the trip until all outstanding bonuses were settled.

The Eagles have yet to receive match allowances for the four games they have played so far in the tournament.
