The today AFCON match at Alexandria in Egypt between Super Eagles and desert foxes will be highly competitive following massive promises.  The clash will be one of its own in AFCON.

Reports indicate that each government has introduced a moral component in their respective teams. 

ABUJA

Reports suggest Nigerian business magnates Aliko Dangote and Femi Otedola will finance the fund, which comes after a lengthy row between the Super Eagles players and the NFF over unpaid bonuses and allowances.

Players threatened to strike in the build-up to the tournament and then refused to appear for the pre-match news conference ahead of a Group B match against Guinea due to unpaid bonuses following their 1-0 win over Burundi.

A statement on NFF’s official Twitter account said: “More Nigerians make cash pledge to boost the Super Eagles’ morale, with two business moguls promising to give the team $50,000 each for every goal scored against Algeria.”

ALGERIA 

Algeria's defense ministry told AFP news agency that six additional military planes would be deployed to shuttle supporters for the final if the team progresses.

A government statement said the decision was taken - with the approval of Prime Minister Noureddine Bedouin - so that "600 Algerian supporters could cheer and encourage the national team and motivate them to win this important continent trophy," as quoted by AFP.
