BUA Group chairman Abdul Samad Rabiu has announced a $500,000 incentive for the Super Eagles should they win their semi-final match at the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON).
The pledge was made shortly after Nigeria’s 2-0 victory over Algeria in the quarter-finals, a result that secured the Super Eagles a place in the last four of the tournament.
In a statement shared on his social media platforms on Saturday, Rabiu praised the team’s discipline and composure against what he described as a strong Algerian side, saying the performance had lifted the mood of the nation.
“Congratulations to our Super Eagles players on a brilliant victory against Algeria,” Rabiu said.
“You have lifted the spirit of the nation, and we proudly cheer you on as you prepare for the semi-finals.”

Rabiu revealed that the $500,000 incentive would be paid if Nigeria advance to the final, while further rewards have been lined up should the Super Eagles go on to win the competition.
According to the BUA chairman, lifting the AFCON trophy would attract an additional $1m bonus, along with a further $100,000 for every goal scored in the final.
Nigeria is now just two matches away from continental glory, Rabiu urged the players to maintain their focus and unity as the tournament reaches its decisive stage.
