Super Eagles receive promised housing and land from FG following 2023 AFCON runner-up finish, as certificates handed at team camp in Morocco
The Federal Government has delivered on its pledge of housing and land allocations to members of the Super Eagles following their runner-up finish at the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations in Côte d’Ivoire.
The Nigeria Football Federation confirmed that the players received official certificates for the plots of land and housing units promised by President Bola Tinubu.
The documents were handed over at the team’s camp in Fez, Morocco, on Monday.
Nigeria finished second at the tournament, played in 2024, after a 2–1 defeat to hosts Côte d’Ivoire in the final.
Following their return from the competition, President Tinubu hosted the squad at the Presidential Villa, where he conferred the national honour of Member of the Order of the Niger (MON) on each player.
During the event, he also announced the allocation of a plot of land in the Federal Capital Territory and a flat to every member of the team in recognition of their performance at the tournament.
The gesture underscores the government’s commitment to rewarding national sporting achievements and supporting the welfare of elite athletes representing Nigeria on the continental stage.
