The Federal Government has announced the payment of AFCON 2025 match bonuses to the Super Eagles players.
The Minister of State for Finance, Doris Uzoka-Anite, announced this via a statement shared on X on Thursday.
The Super Eagles players had threatened to boycott training and declined travel to Marrakech for Saturday’s quarter final match against Algeria.
Uzoka-Anite, while addressing concerns over delayed payments to members of Nigeria’s national football team, said the federal government and the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) had resolved foreign exchange bottlenecks affecting the prompt settlement of players’ entitlements.
The minister stated: “All group-stage bonuses were fully released and have now cleared the necessary regulatory stages.
