WAFCON: Super Falcons Captain Claims FG Yet to Deliver on $100,000 Promise
Super Falcons captain Rasheedat Ajibade revealed that the Nigerian government is yet to fulfill its promise of a $100,000 reward for the team's victory at the 2025 Women's Africa Cup of Nations. Despite their triumph in the final against Morocco, the players have not received the promised reward from President Bola Tinubu.
Ajibade expressed disappointment over the delay in payment during a chat with Chude Jideonwo. The team was celebrated upon their return to the country, with President Tinubu announcing the reward equivalent to that of the technical team.
This revelation has sparked discussions on social media, with many expressing their support for the players. This comes after the Tigress basketball team also received national honors and new apartments for winning the 2025 FIBA Women's Afrobasket.
