The President of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) Amaju Pinnick has stated that the football house will reward Super Eagles Captain, Ahmed Musa with N10million for reaching 100 caps.
Musa became only the third Nigerian footballer to reach a century of appearances for the national team, as legends Joseph Yobo and Vincent Enyeama made 101 caps respectively.
At the age of 17, Musa made his senior team debut on August 5, 2010, in a qualification match for the 2012 Africa Cup of Nations against Madagascar after he came on as a substitute for Mikel Obi in the 2-0 win.
He scored his first goal for the Super Eagles in a March 2011 friendly against Kenya and following his appearance against Cape Verde in the 2022 FIFA World Cup qualifier, 28-year-old Musa reaches 100 caps.
After the game, Pinnick promised a N10million reward for the captain and promised that such gesture will be sustained.
Pinnick said as reported by Nigerian journalist Tobi Adepoju: “The NFF will give Ahmed Musa N10 million for reaching the 100 caps.
“We will sustain this gesture and honor our players that hit 100 games henceforth.”
Ahmed Musa has so far scored a total of 15 goals for the Super Eagles; he remains Nigeria’s highest goal scorer at the FIFA World Cup tournament with 4 goals.
