The Super Eagles of Nigeria will earn a cash reward of $5,000 for every goal scored at the ongoing 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON).
The incentive, first reported by ScoreNigeria, is part of a broader motivation package rolled out by the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) in collaboration with the Federal Ministry of Sports. A similar approach was adopted during Nigeria’s 2026 FIFA World Cup African qualifying campaign.
Eric Chelle’s side already benefited from the policy earlier this week, pocketing $10,000 following their 2-1 opening win over Tanzania. That victory has put the Super Eagles in a strong position ahead of Saturday night’s Group C showdown against Tunisia.
The highly anticipated encounter against the Carthage Eagles will kick off at 9pm Nigeria time, with Nigeria aiming to secure qualification for the last 16 with a game to spare.
Naija News reports that the Super Eagles began their AFCON campaign on a positive note by edging past Tanzania, while Tunisia currently sit top of the group after a commanding 3-0 win over Uganda.
The result means both sides go into the match knowing that victory would all but guarantee progress. A win for Nigeria will be a huge payback against a Tunisian side who knocked out the Super Eagles in the AFCON 2021 round of 16.
