Mozambique President, Daniel Francisco Chapo, has announced a special cash reward of about ₦11.3 million for each player and member of the coaching staff if the national team, the Mambas, defeat Nigeria at the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations in Morocco.
The incentive comes after Mozambique qualified for the Round of 16 for the first time, finishing third in Group F despite a 2–1 loss to Cameroon.
President Chapo praised the team’s courage, discipline, and determination, describing their progress as a historic achievement that has filled the nation with pride.
According to reports, the bonus of 500,000 meticais will be paid if the Mambas overcome the Super Eagles and reach the quarter-finals.
The president also assured the team of full national support ahead of the crucial encounter.
Nigeria and Mozambique will face off on Monday, January 5, at the Complexe Sportif de Fès, with kickoff scheduled for 8:00 pm.
