Nigerian billionaire and BUA Group chairman, Abdul Samad Rabiu, has promised significant financial incentives to the Super Eagles following their 2-0 victory over Algeria in the Africa Cup of Nations quarter-finals. Rabiu pledged $500,000 to the players if they win the semi-final, with an additional $50,000 for every goal scored in that match.
Should the team go on to win the final, Rabiu has promised a whopping $1,000,000, plus $100,000 for each goal scored in the championship decider. “Congratulations to our Super Eagles players on a brilliant victory against Algeria! You have lifted the spirit of the nation, and we proudly cheer you on as you prepare for the semi-finals,” Rabiu wrote.
The Super Eagles will face host nation Morocco in the semi-final on January 14, 2026, at 9:00 p.m. at the Prince Moulay Abdellah Stadium in Rabat. Rabiu’s pledge has been met with widespread enthusiasm from football fans, who see it as a major morale boost for the team.
