Each player earned $2,000 from the Ministry of Sports and Recreation for reaching the quarter-finals at the 2024 Women's Africa Cup of Nations. The team secured their position by defeating Tanzania 4-1 in their final group stage match on Monday. This victory placed them second in Group C with four total points from three games.
