President Theodoro Obiang Nguema has announced a generous and special one-million-euro bonus for the triumphant Nzalang Nacional. The remarkable performance by Emilio Nsue, who scored a brace, and Pablo Ganet, with a notable free-kick goal, has etched a historic moment in Equatorial Guinea’s African Cup of Nations journey.
The impressive win not only stirred celebrations across social media and the streets of Malabo but also resonated within the presidential family, where President Theodoro Obiang Nguema expressed profound satisfaction with the team’s outstanding achievement under the leadership of Juan Obiang Micha.
President Nguema, recognizing the significance of the victory against Ivory Coast, declared the substantial bonus as a token of appreciation for Nzalang Nacional’s exceptional display.
In a social media post, he affirmed, “In addition to the participation bonus, for the good match played this afternoon against Ivory Coast, I promise Nzalang Nacional a bonus of one million euros. They are the national heroes.”
This extraordinary gesture by the Equatorial Guinean president not only serves as a financial reward for the players but also stands as a testament to the pride and honor they have brought to the entire nation.
The announcement of the bonus reflects President Nguema’s commitment to acknowledging and motivating the players for their outstanding contribution to Equatorial Guinea’s football legacy.
As Nzalang Nacional progresses to the round of 16, the substantial bonus serves as both a recognition of their accomplishments and a powerful incentive for the upcoming challenges in the tournament.
The president’s unwavering support and encouragement are anticipated to inspire the team as they continue their campaign in AFCON 2023, fueled by the pride of being hailed as national heroes.
