Lookman, Iwobi, Ekong, Aina donate N24m to Falcons for WAFCON triumph

Six players of the Super Eagles of Nigeria have pledged N1 million to each member of the Super Falcons’ squad for the team’s triumph at the Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON) in Morocco.

According to the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF), the six players who donated are William Troost-Ekong, Ola Aina, Ademola Lookman, Alex Iwobi, Leon Balogun and Joseph Ayodele-Aribo.

The players pooled together a sum of N24 million, which will be shared equally by all 24 members of the Super Falcons squad.

The Super Falcons won Nigeria’s 10th WAFCON title on Saturday in Morocco.

The team came from two goals down to defeat the host country 3-2 in the final at the Olympic Stadium in Rabat.

Esther Okoronkwo, Folashade Ijamilusi and Jennifer Echegini were the goal scorers for the Falcons in the dramatic triumph.

On Monday, President Bola Tinubu received the team at the Presidential Villa in Abuja and conferred the national honour of the Officer of the Order of the Niger (OON) on each member of the team, including the technical staff.

The players were also promised the Naira equivalent of $100,000, while the members of the technical staff get $50,000.

Each player and official in the team will also be getting a three-bedroom apartment in the Renewed Hope Estate in the Federal Capital Territory.

This is a bloody lie
Look at the composition of the players and understand what's happening here.

The money is from Tinubu but he selected only Yoruba boys plus the 2 captains Ekong & Iwobi to give it legitimacy. Imagine Leon Balogun too? grin

This move is intended to divide the team and bring in his signatory tribalism that he used to destroy Nigeria.

Please tell me why Osimhen or Boniface will refuse to donate if his team mates or captain called him for something like this. Lookman may not even be aware of this donation till tomorrow.

Super Eagles should be careful.

This is good..
Hard word should be rewarded with handsome reward.

This is testament to the fact that not only does hardwork pays but is acknowledged and rewarded.

No be all the big brother naija nonsense.

I am happy for the players.

While I think the $100k given to the players is slightly on the high side, female players are generally very poorly paid compared to their male counterparts at club level. A female football career is not one that can sustain a woman for a long time.

Time and season happened to them. In a previous era, they would have received a presidential handshake. Congratulations to them; their hard work has paid off.
