Abdul Samad Rabiu Rewards Super Eagles Ahead of AFCON Semi-Final

Chairman of BUA Group, Abdul Samad Rabiu, has pledged a $500,000 reward to the Super Eagles if they secure victory in their Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) semi-final clash against Morocco.

Rabiu made the announcement in a post on X following Nigeria’s 2–0 victory over Algeria in the quarter-final encounter on Saturday.

Goals from Victor Osimhen and Akor Adams sealed the win for Nigeria at the Grand Stade de Marrakech, sending the Super Eagles into their 16th AFCON semi-final, where they will face tournament hosts Morocco.

The billionaire businessman also revealed that the team will receive an additional $50,000 for every goal scored in the semi-final match.

He further promised a bigger reward should Nigeria go on to lift the trophy, pledging $1 million for winning the final, along with $100,000 for each goal scored in the decisive match.

Congratulating the players, Rabiu wrote: “Congratulations to our Super Eagles players on a brilliant victory against Algeria! You have lifted the spirit of the nation, and we proudly cheer you on as you prepare for the semi-finals.”

Nigeria will take on Morocco on Wednesday, with kickoff scheduled for 9:00 pm Nigerian time.
