This is as a result of the approval of the Federal Government win-bonus of $5,000-a-match for each Super Eagles player at the competition. A draw will fetch a player half that amount, which is $2,500.

To get this bonus, the Super Eagles will need to win seven matches to be champions of Africa 10 years since their last conquest in South Africa.

With the winner guaranteed $7m prize money, the players could earn more money if they win the competition.
