Beat Super Eagles, get $8,000 — Mozambique president

President Daniel Francisco Chapo has told members of the Mozambique national football team to defeat the Super Eagles of Nigeria in their Round of 16 clash at the Africa Cup of Nations and earn $8,000.

The Eagle Online is reporting that the Mambas will take on the Super Eagles on Monday in the Round of 16 clash.

President Chapo pledged a $8,000 reward to each player and members of the technical crew if the Mambas defeat Nigeria and book a place in the quarterfinals of the continental tournament.

The incentive applies across the entire squad and backroom staff, reinforcing the government’s support for the team’s AFCON campaign.

The knockout fixture against the Super Eagles presents one of Mozambique’s biggest tests at the tournament, with Nigeria entering the contest as one of the title contenders.

A victory on Monday would not only send the Mambas into the last eight but also mark a landmark achievement in the nation’s football history.

Beyond the financial reward, progression would represent a major boost to national pride and Mozambique’s growing profile on the African football stage.

The match forms part of Monday’s Round of 16 programme as the competition moves into its decisive knockout phase, where margins are slim and stakes are high.
