Super Falcons captain Rasheedat Ajibade has disclosed that the team is yet to receive the $100,000 reward and other commitments promised by the Federal Government following their triumph at the 2025 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON) in Morocco.
In an interview with Chude Jideonwo, Ajibade expressed disappointment over the delay in payment. Asked whether the money had been delivered, she replied: “We have not received our money, but hopefully, it would be paid. They have not paid, all the promises, we have not received anything.”
Ajibade led Nigeria to a record-extending WAFCON title in Morocco earlier this year. After the victory, President Bola Tinubu conferred national honours of Officer of the Order of Niger (OON) on the players and technical crew, and announced a reward of $100,000 and a three-bedroom flat for each player.
Receiving the team at the Presidential Villa, Tinubu hailed their “indomitable spirit of resilience, determination and courage,” calling the win a historic moment for Nigerian football.
