“We Have Not Received Our $100,000 Reward” — Super Falcons Ajibade Cries Out

Super Falcons captain Rasheedat Ajibade has disclosed that the team is yet to receive the promised $100,000 reward and other commitments made by the Federal Government following their triumph at the 2025 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON) in Morocco.

Speaking in an interview with media personality Chude Jideonwo, Ajibade expressed disappointment over the delay, stating: “We have not received our money, but hopefully, it would be paid. They have not paid — all the promises, we have not received anything.”

Ajibade led Nigeria to clinch a record-extending WAFCON title in Morocco. In the aftermath of the victory, President Bola Tinubu conferred the national honour of Officer of the Order of Niger (OON) on the players and technical crew, alongside pledging $100,000 and a three-bedroom flat for each player.

While receiving the team at the Presidential Villa earlier this week, Tinubu lauded their “indomitable spirit of resilience, determination, and courage,” describing their win as a historic milestone for Nigerian football.
