Equatorial Guinea’s team at the Africa Cup of Nations have been promised a one million euro bonus after their upset 4-0 win over hosts Ivory Coast on Monday that ensured them top place in Group A, the country’s president said on Tuesday.
A public holiday was also declared after unfancied Equatorial Guinea humiliated the Ivorians in Abidjan to finish ahead of heavyweight contenders Nigeria and the host nation.
A government statement, said Equatorial Guinea’s President Teodoro Obiang Nguema, the world’s longest-standing ruler, had watched excitedly as the team won.
