Nigeria's victorious women footballers promised $100,000 each
Returning home as African champions, the president thanked the players for their inspiration.
www.bbc.co.ukHere’s the latest I can share based on recent reporting:
- Nigeria’s women’s national team, the Super Falcons, won the Africa Women’s Cup of Nations for a 10th time in 2025, staging a dramatic comeback to beat host Morocco in Rabat. This victory extended their record as Africa’s most decorated side in women’s football.[4][5]
- Following the title, there were reports of prize payments and government or federation pledges to fund bonuses and rewards for the players, including high-profile discussions around timely compensation and welfare promises. This has been a recurring theme in past campaigns as well.[5][7][4]
- The team’s victory generated wide coverage, including celebrations at the presidential level with pledges of rewards and housing accommodations for players, highlighting ongoing debates about player welfare and parity with the men’s team.[7][5]
If you’d like, I can pull more specifics (dates, match details, scores by game, or player rosters) or provide a concise timeline of the 2025 Wafcon campaign. I can also look for more recent developments if you want the very latest updates beyond the 2025 championship.
