Nigeria’s Super Eagles stand to earn significantly more at the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations in Morocco if they go on to lift the trophy, BSNSports.com.ng reports.

The Confederation of African Football (CAF) has announced an increase in the prize money for the AFCON winner, raising it from $7 million to $10 million. 

The adjustment represents a major financial boost for participating teams and adds further incentive ahead of the continent’s flagship competition.

The revised prize structure is widely seen as a strong statement of ambition and growth by CAF, underlining its belief in the increasing value and global appeal of African football. 

Beyond the financial impact, the increase is expected to motivate teams, reward excellence on the pitch, and further elevate the prestige of the Africa Cup of Nations.

For the Super Eagles, who will head to Morocco with high expectations, the new prize money provides added motivation as they aim to reclaim continental glory and secure a historic payday.
