The Super Eagles of Nigeria squad will receive $7m (N8.9bn) if they win the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations in Ivory Coast.

Nigeria qualified for the final of the 34th edition of the AFCON after defeating South Africa at the Stade de la Paix, Bouke, on penalties after 120 minutes of football ended 1-1.

For qualifying for the final tournament, the Eagles have already secured $4m.

Earlier, Dr Patrice Motsepe, Confederation of Africa Football president, had announced a 40 percent increment in prize monies before the start of the tournament.

According to the statement published on the website of the football governing body on January 4, the winners of the tournament will receive $7m, $2m more than the reward doled out at the last edition in Cameroon.

The runners-up of the African showpiece event will now get $4m (N5bn), while each of the losing semi-finalists South Africa and DR Congo will receive $2.5m, with each of the four quarter-finalists taking home $1.3m.

“CAF has made significant progress over the past two years in increasing the prize money of the AFCON and all its other major competitions,” Motsepe said.

“We have increased the prize money of the AFCON winner to USD 7 000 000 which is a 40% increase from the previous AFCON prize money.

“I am confident that a portion of the prize money will contribute to developing football and also benefit all the football stakeholders, as well as assist our Member Associations with their administrations,” he added.

Most of this African players have more than this AFCON price money.

We Nigerians are not concern about the price money, bringing home the cup is more valuable to us than the money.

The cup is our pride, our joy.

The Eagles should make us proud.

Forget the money, its the trophy or nothing and how can we win the trophy without getting the money, not possible, our eyes are in the trophy.... This could still unity the country a bit for now.

The objective is not a win for the money, but a win for something excitingly positive for Nigerians at times like this

Hmmmm, that's if Amaju Pinnick and co don't embezzle the money.
