Super Eagles To Get $100,000 Plus bonuses IF They Defeat Ghana

The Super Eagles of Nigeria have been told by Nigeria's Minister of Sports Bolaji Abdullahi that they will receive $100,000 if they beat Ghana in the semi-final of the Africa Nations Champions on Wednesday.

Abdullahi, who applauded the fighting spirit of the Nigerian players announced the fresh offer on Sunday.

The massive cash incentive from the Nigerian sports minister is different from the bonuses the players will receive for winning the match.

The Local Black Stars defeated DR Congo 1-0 to book their place in the semi-final of the competition where they will face their arch foes the home-based Super Eagles.

The Nigeria players got a similar offer before their pulsating quarter-final clash against the Atlas Lions of Morocco on Saturday. Eagles came from behind to win the match 4-3.

The offer is independent of their match-win bonuses from the Nigeria Football Federation.

Abdullahi said the team showed passion, discipline and commitment, which are hallmarks of the Nigerian spirit.

The minister then added that the players would get the first package of the money before their next match on Wednesday.
