Tinubu Approves Full Allowances, Bonuses for Super Falcons Ahead of WAFCON Final

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has approved the full payment of allowances and match bonuses for the Super Falcons, ahead of their final clash against Morocco in the 2025 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON).

The Chairman of the National Sports Commission, Shehu Dikko, made this announcement on Thursday, confirming that all entitlements — up to and including the July 26 final — have already been disbursed to players, coaches, and team officials for immediate payment.

Dikko described the move as part of a renewed sports policy under President Tinubu, aimed at supporting Nigerian athletes with timely, dignified compensation. He affirmed this would be the new standard practice, ensuring no more payment delays.

The policy will also benefit Nigeria’s women’s basketball team, D’Tigress, who are preparing for the 2025 FIBA Women’s AfroBasket tournament in Côte d’Ivoire, with promises of improved allowances and bonuses.

> “This is the kind of sports administration we are building—rooted in dignity, trust, and shared prosperity,” Dikko stated, emphasizing the long-term vision of Tinubu’s sports reforms.
