Super Eagles Players To Pocket Over N40 Million Each To Win 2023 AFCON

Should the Super Eagles win the 2023 African Cup of Nations (AFCON), each player might take home almost $35,000 (more than N42 million).

The Nigerian national team are one of the favourites to win the 2023 AFCON, which begins in Cote d’Ivoire on Saturday.

It has been reported that each Super Eagles player will get a $5,000 win bonus, as sanctioned by the Federal Government of Nigeria. A player is expected to receive half of the money ($2,500) in the event of a drawn match.

The Super Eagles, after a decade since their last triumph in South Africa, are required to secure victory in seven matches in order to be crowned as the African champions.

The portion of the enhanced $7 million prize money for the AFCON champions that the players will bargain with the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) is not included in this payment.

In addition, the aforementioned calculation does not consider the monetary contributions that will be bestowed upon the triumphant team by the FGN, state governments, organizations, corporations, and affluent individuals, as was witnessed in 2013.
