Mozambique's coach, Chiquinho Conde, has stated that the financial incentive offered by their President, Daniel Francisco Chapo, was made because he believes the Mambas can defeat the Super Eagles.

The Mambas are set to play against Nigeria in the Round of 16 of the Africa Cup of Nations on Monday.

Before the match, Mozambique’s president proposed a significant monetary reward of approximately 500,000 meticais for each player and coaching staff member if they manage to overcome the Super Eagles and progress to the quarterfinals.

When questioned about whether this announcement creates pressure or serves as motivation ahead of the match, Conde remarked during his pre-match press conference: “Our president is a passionate football enthusiast, and we are grateful for his support. He is eager to motivate us, and he believes we can secure a victory.”

“That’s why he made this promise, to inspire us to play with all our heart and to recognize the significance of this mission.”

Conde also emphasized the honor of representing Mozambique, stating, “We are here for our country.”

Nigeria advanced to the knockout stage by winning all their matches against the teams in Group C, including Tunisia, Tanzania, and Uganda.
