The Super Falcons have finally received the full package of rewards pledged by the Federal Government for their triumphant campaign at the 2024 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations, bringing closure to months of anticipation within the squad.

The presentation was conducted in Rabat, Morocco, by the Chairman of the National Sports Commission, Shehu Dikko, in the presence of Nigeria Football Federation General Secretary, Mohammed Sanusi, and team captain Rasheedat Ajibade. It took place just hours before Nigeria’s opening Group C fixture against Malawi at the 2026 WAFCON, underscoring the symbolic timing of the gesture.

Images released by the NFF showed Dikko handing over parcels to Ajibade and her teammates. The packages contained title documents for the three-bedroom houses promised to each player, along with certificates confirming the national honour of Officer of the Order of the Niger.

The rewards stem from Nigeria’s record-extending 10th WAFCON crown, secured with a dramatic 3-2 comeback victory over hosts Morocco in the 2024 final. The Falcons overturned a two-goal deficit to reclaim the continental title and reinforce their status as Africa’s dominant women’s football nation.

In the aftermath of that success, President Bola Tinubu approved a comprehensive reward scheme: 100,000 dollars for each player, 50,000 dollars for every member of the technical and backroom staff, a three-bedroom house for every squad member and the OON national honour.

While the cash component was processed and paid into the players’ accounts after administrative vetting, the physical presentation of the housing documents and honours certificates was deliberately held back. Dikko explained that officials wanted the entire squad together so the moment could serve as both recognition and motivation ahead of their title defence.

He stressed that all monetary commitments had been fulfilled and that the handover of documents in Rabat was the final piece of the package. The move is expected to lift spirits in camp as the Falcons chase an unprecedented 11th continental title.

Nigeria’s group-stage schedule in Morocco pits them against debutants Malawi, followed by clashes with Zambia and Egypt. With their long-promised rewards now formally delivered, attention within the camp has shifted fully to retaining the WAFCON trophy and extending their dominance of African women’s football.
