Each member of the Super Eagles squad could pocket around $35,000 (over N42million) if Nigeria emerges winner of the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations.
Nigeria’s Federal Government has granted approval for a win bonus of $5,000 per match for every Eagle in the continental showpiece which begins this weekend.
A draw will fetch a player half of that amount.
This approved payment does not include the percentage share of the enhanced $7 million prize money allocated to the AFCON champions, a negotiation that will take place between the players and the Nigerian Football Federation (NFF).
The Super Eagles are looking to win their fourth Afcon title and first since 2013.
