By delivering the rewards mid-tournament, the government aims to boost the squad’s morale as they vie for a spot on the global stage.
D’Tigress players have each been awarded the Officer of the Order of the Niger (OON) national honour in recognition of their contributions to Nigerian sports.
In addition to the honours, every player is set to receive a cash reward of $100,000.
The incentives extend to individual housing, with each player provided a flat as part of the government’s reward package.
This gesture underscores the administration’s commitment to supporting national athletes who bring pride to the country.
Members of the technical crew, under the leadership of Coach Rena Makama, have not been left out of the recognition.
Each technical team member has been granted $50,000 in cash rewards, reflecting appreciation for their role in guiding the team to success.
The delivery of these tangible benefits—documents for the houses and the honours—comes more than seven months after initial announcements, addressing earlier concerns about delays in fulfilling the commitments.
