Federal government assures Super Eagles of bonuses by Friday

The Federal Government of Nigeria, through its Finance Ministry, has promised that members of the Super Eagles national football team will receive their bonuses for the AFCON 2025 tournament by Friday.

The assurance comes amid ongoing discussions about player welfare in Nigerian football. The Super Eagles, Nigeria's senior men's national team, participated in the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) 2025, where such bonuses are standard incentives for performance.

Finance Ministry officials stated that payments would be processed promptly to honor commitments made to the players. This development follows previous delays in similar disbursements, highlighting efforts to maintain trust between the government and sports representatives.

No further details on the exact amount or distribution method were provided in the announcement, but the Friday deadline aims to resolve outstanding issues swiftly.
