The Angolan national team’s players have been honored with material presents and cash ahead of their quarterfinal Africa Cup of Nations match against Nigeria on Friday.
Cash presents were also promised to the Palancas Negras if they made it to the final. They just defeated Namibia 3-0 in the Round of 16.
According to Angola Press Agency, Angolan bank Banco Angolano de Investimento declared that it will give five million Kwanzas, or roughly N5.41 million, to each player and coach of the team.
Every member of the Angolan delegation in Cote d’Ivoire received an iPhone 15 with free calls, SMS, and internet for a year, courtesy of Aguinaldo Jaime, President of the Board of Directors of UNITEL, a private Angolan mobile phone firm.
Additionally, in the event that Angola advanced to the 34th Nations Cup final, the company Sodiam EP promised a sizeable sum of $250,000 to the national squad and technical team.
On Friday, February 2, 2024, at 6:00 p.m., the Super Eagles of Nigeria will play Angola at the Felix Houphouet-Boigny Stadium in Abidjan.
Both sides have an undefeated tournament record going into this game.
