Nigeria’s Super Eagles are on the cusp of a significant financial windfall as BUA Chairman Abdul Samad Rabiu pledges a massive $500,000 prize for winning the semi-final, with an additional $50,000 for every goal scored. This incredible incentive is designed to motivate the team as they prepare to face Morocco in the crucial semi-final match of the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations.
The Chairman and Founder of BUA Group, a prominent figure in Nigerian business, expressed his pride in the Super Eagles’ performance, particularly their 2-0 victory over Algeria in the quarter-finals. His congratulatory message, shared on his X handle, highlighted the team’s ability to uplift the nation’s spirit.
Rabiu didn’t stop at just congratulations; he detailed the substantial financial rewards to further spur the players. “To encourage you, I pledge USD 500,000 to the players upon winning the semi-final, with an additional USD 50,000 for every goal scored,” he announced, setting a new benchmark for football team motivation.
What is the total potential prize money for the Super Eagles? If the Super Eagles win the semi-final and go on to win the final, they stand to receive a combined total of $1,500,000, plus a substantial amount for each goal scored in both matches.
The stakes are incredibly high for the upcoming semi-final clash. The Super Eagles have shown remarkable form, securing their spot after a convincing win against Algeria. Their next challenge is the host nation, Morocco, a formidable opponent.
This pledge is not just about monetary value; it represents a powerful display of national support and belief in the team’s capabilities. It underscores the importance of their performance on the international stage.
The Super Eagles are scheduled to face Morocco on Wednesday, January 14, 2026, at the Prince Moulay Abdellah Stadium in Rabat. The match is set to kick off at 9:00 p.m., promising an electrifying encounter.
Rabiu’s commitment extends beyond the semi-final. He has also pledged an additional USD 1,000,000 for the team should they win the final, coupled with USD 100,000 for every goal scored in that ultimate match.
This financial motivation is a significant factor, but the players will also be driven by the desire to make Nigeria proud and bring home the coveted Africa Cup of Nations trophy.
The team’s journey through the tournament has been marked by determination and skill, culminating in their current position in the semi-finals.
Rabiu’s closing remarks urged the players to continue their impressive performance and uphold the nation’s pride. “Wishing you continued success as you carry Nigeria forward. Keep making Nigeria proud. Proudly Nigerian,” he stated.
The Super Eagles’ victory over Algeria was a testament to their teamwork and strategic play, setting a positive tone for the remainder of the tournament.
