The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) will be doling out $95,000 (N34,199,050) bonus to Super Eagles players should they win the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations in Egypt.
The Eagles are already guaranteed $10,000 for their 1-0 win over Burundi on Saturday. They will also get $20,000 if they win their remaining Group B matches against Guinea and Madagascar.
The players will receive $12,500 should they record another win in the round of 16; $15,000 for quarter-final win; and $17,500 for semi-final victory.

“Group stage wins: $10k; Round of 16: $12.5k; QF: $15k; SF: $17.5k. And if they win the final: $20k. So, each player would earn $95,000 for winning AFCON2019,” a member of the Nigeria Football Federation’s Reforms Committee, Osasu Obayiuwana, disclosed.
Obayiuwana noted that Gernot Rohr would earn twice the amount of what his players get, while goalkeepers trainer and assistant coach Alloy Agu and Imama Amapakabo will receive 75 per cent of what Rohr gets.
On the other hand, the backroom staff are entitled to 75 per cent of what the players earn.
