The National Sports Commission, NSC, has promised the Super Falcons $5,000 for each goal scored during the group stage at the 2026 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations, DAILY POST reports.
NSC chairman, Shehu Dikko made the promise during his visit to the Super Falcons’ Marriott Hotel base in Rabat, Morocco on Tuesday
The move is to motivate the defending champions towards a successful title defence.
The goal bonus is expected to be increased as the team progresses in the competition.
Justine Madugu’s side will begin their title defence against debutants Scorchers of Malawi tonight at the Al Madina Stadium, Rabat.
It will be the first-ever meeting between both countries at the senior international level.
Spanish giants Real Madrid said Tuesday they generated a record 1.221 billion euros ($1.39 billion) in revenue in the 2025/2026 season, despite failing to win a trophy.
“Operating revenue, excluding income from player transfers, reached €1.221 billion, 3.1 percent more than in the previous financial year,” said Los Blancos in a statement.
“Real Madrid has therefore exceeded the €1.2 billion mark for the first time, a figure that no other sports organisation in the world has achieved to date, consolidating the club’s position as the revenue leader in the sports industry.”
Madrid said they made 26 million euros ($30m) profit after tax, up by 8 percent on the earnings from 2024/25.
The club’s strong financial showing was boosted by an increase in income from their renovated Santiago Bernabeu stadium, up by 11 percent to 363 million euros ($413m), along with new sponsorships.
Los Blancos appointed Jose Mourinho as coach to replace Alvaro Arbeloa in June following two seasons without a major trophy, and have made several signings already this summer, including Bernardo Silva and Marc Cucurella.
Madrid have agreed terms with RB Leipzig’s Ivorian winger Yan Diomande according to media reports, while Manchester City midfielder Rodri is also a rumoured target as they continue to remodel their squad.
