The Super Eagles will get $2.5 million (N2.24 billion) if they defeat Angola’s Palancas Negras in the quarter finals of the ongoing 34th Africa Cup of Nations.
The match prize money is stipulated by the Confederation of African Football for the winner of the encounter.
Meanwhile, players of the Angola national team have been rewarded with cash and material gifts.
The Palancas Negras, who are fresh off a commanding 3-0 victory over Namibia in the Round of 16, were also promised cash gifts if they advanced to the final.
As reported by Angola Press Agency, Banco Angolano de Investimento, a bank in Angola, announced that it would reward each Angola player and coaching staff with the sum of five million Kwanzas (equivalent to approximately N5.41 million).
Aguinaldo Jaime, the President of the Board of Directors of UNITEL, a private Angolan mobile phone company, also gave an iPhone 15 with free calls, SMS, and internet for a year to every member of the Angolan delegation in Cote d’Ivoire.
