President Bola Tinubu has fulfilled his $100,000 promise to the Super Falcons, following their historic victory at the 2025 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON), where Nigeria clinched a record-extending 10th continental title.
According to the National Sports Commission, the players have begun receiving payments of about ₦140 million, representing the naira equivalent of the $100,000 reward promised by the President after the team staged a remarkable comeback to defeat hosts Morocco in the final in July 2025.
The Super Falcons, who were trailing 2-0, produced a spirited second-half performance to stun the hosts and reclaim the African crown, further cementing their status as the continent’s most successful women’s national team.
