Eagles get $50k cash price from Saraki & special package for each goal scored at Russia 2018

Super Eagles have received a huge boost ahead of their friendly match against England and participation in 2018 World Cup in Russia.

The President of the Senate of the Federal Republic, Distinguished Senator Abubakar Bukola Saraki (CON) doled out the sum of $50,000 to them and promised ‘special package’ for each goal in Russia.

The President of the Nigeria Football Federation, Mr. Amaju Melvin Pinnick announced the cash gift and ‘special package’ from the number three man in Nigeria to the players at the Transcorp Hilton Hotel, Abuja where the players were hosted by the Senate president.

Amaju Pinnick lauded Saraki for his proven love for, support and encouragement of the three-time African champions during the FIFA World Cup qualifying race and even before.

“The Nigeria Football Federation and this team are indebted to you for your huge support all the time. Your love and keen interest has contributed much to keep this team going and reaching for higher heights.”

Pinnick then announced to the team Dr. Saraki’s gift of $50,000 to the team ahead of Saturday’s friendly with England’s Three Lions at Wembley Stadium in London, and yet-to-be-revealed ‘special package’ for the entire team “for every unreplied goal” scored at the FIFA World Cup in Russia.

The friendly match between Nigeria and England will be played this Saturday at the Wembley Stadium by 5:15 PM while Nigeria’s first game at the World Cup against Iceland will be played on 22nd of June by 4 PM.
