Tinubu honors Super Falcons with $100,000 rewards

Nigeria's Super Falcons players have received the naira equivalent of $100,000 each, while their coaches and officials received $50,000 each, completing President Bola Tinubu's financial commitment following their victory in the 2025 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON). The National Sports Commission (NSC) announced this payment on November 2, 2026, stating that the Federal Government fulfilled the President's pledge after the team won their record-extending 10th WAFCON title.

The players had previously received title documents for three-bedroom apartments in Abuja and certificates of the national honour of Officer of the Order of the Niger (OON). NSC Chairman Shehu Dikko expressed gratitude to Tinubu for honoring his commitment and noted that this prompt payment marked a significant change from past experiences where athletes waited years for promised rewards.

The Super Falcons secured their title on July 2025, defeating Morocco 3-2 in the final.
