Nigerian President Ball Tinube greeted the women’s national football team for winning the recent women’s Cup of Africa (WAFCON) at a great festive reception, where he promised them gifts and awards.
On Monday, spending them at ASO Rock residence, Tinubu announced that each player would receive 100,000 dollars (75,000 pounds) as well as a three -bedroom apartment.
The 24th woman was pleased when the news heard, but in the past there was a critic that, what prizes promised by the Nigeria governments did not come true.
Nigeria’s supersalons – as the team is known – the defeated hosts of Morocco 3: 2 on Saturday’s extraordinary return of the second half, receiving their 10th Wafcon title.
Tinubo said that the victory became “a triumph of courage, determination and sequence”, adding that at some point he “did not want to watch the match” from the stress.
“You returned home today as Africa’s champions,” he said. “We couldn’t be proud.”
Upon arrival at the main airport of the capital, Abuja, the team welcomed traditional dancers, drummers, journalists and government officials. They were then held at the presidential residence in the column.
Tinubu was given to national honoring, officers of the Order of Niger, all players and staff, saying that it was “on behalf of a grateful nation”.
Captain Rashedat Adzhiboda said that the victory of her team was “every young girl in our villages, cities and cities that dare.”
She also outlined her vision to make super falcons to become the best team in the world, but said that this could only happen with the constant support of the Football and Government Federation.
From the Super Salcons have won 10 of the 13 editions Wafcon since it started in 1998. The president called the last victory as “a milestone in the history of sports.”
While players noted additional gifts from the president in the past as men’s and women’s national football teams in Nigeria repeated problems with the authorities about delaying bonuses and wages.
The government has just honored its three decade new houses for the victorious men’s Super Eagle, which won the Nations Cup in Africa in 1994.
Super Salcons has repeatedly participated in the protests at the sitting during major pay tournaments, including after the 2023 FIFA World Cup launch.
Also concerned about the remuneration disproportions arose, and in recent years fans have called for paying them the same as the super eagles.
On the eve of the final match on Saturday, Tinubu reportedly approved the help of players, including behind the payments, adding that this will be a standard practice in the future.
