Mozambique’s national football team has been promised a significant financial reward ahead of their Round of 16 match against Nigeria at the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations in Morocco.
President Daniel Francisco Chapo has approved a special bonus of 500,000 meticais, roughly ₦11.3 million, for each player and member of the coaching staff if the Mambas defeat Nigeria and reach the quarter-finals.

According to local media outlet Jornal Notícias, the incentive aims to motivate the squad ahead of their crucial encounter with Nigeria as Mozambique chase a historic quarter-final berth.
