The Nigerian national football team received a financial reward for its recent 4-1 victory over Gabon in a World Cup playoff match. A private sector initiative provided the team with a bonus of 120,000 dollars, fulfilling a promise of 30,000 dollars per goal.
This payment was part of an agreement to resolve a previous pay dispute that had disrupted the team's preparations. Officials indicated that the squad would be in line for a larger bonus should it defeat DR Congo in its next match.
