How the Super Falcons earned over ₦40 million after Egypt victory

Nigeria’s Super Falcons are set to receive a $30,000 (over ₦40 million) goals bonus after their emphatic 6-2 victory over Egypt in their final Group C match at the 2026 CAF Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON).

The financial reward comes under the National Sports Commission (NSC) performance incentive scheme, which promises the Super Falcons $5,000 for every goal scored during the group stage of the tournament.

Following their six-goal demolition of Egypt, the reigning African champions earned the maximum $30,000 bonus (over 40 million naira) from the match alone.

Nigeria finished the group stage with 9 goals after scoring: 2 goals against Malawi, 1 goal against Zambia and 6 goals against Egypt.

At $5,000 per goal, the team’s group-stage goal tally translates to 9 goals, goal bonus, $45,000.

With qualification for the quarter-finals secured following victories over Zambia and Egypt, the Super Falcons now have the opportunity to earn even greater financial rewards while pursuing a record-extending 11th WAFCON title.

The convincing victory over Egypt also restored confidence after the team’s opening defeat to Malawi, leaving Nigeria among the favourites to lift the continental trophy once again.
