Mozambique’s President, Daniel Chapo, has thrown his full weight behind the national team ahead of their Round of 16 clash with Nigeria at the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations in Morocco.
Following Mozambique’s historic qualification for the knockout stage, the president described the feat as a rare and proud moment for the country, praising the team for making the nation dream bigger on the continental stage.
The Mambas will face the Super Eagles on Monday, January 5, at the Complexe Sportif de Fès, with the encounter scheduled to kick off at 8:00 pm as both teams chase a quarter-final ticket.
President Chapo applauded the players and coaching staff for their discipline, courage, and relentless effort, saying their commitment paved the way for this breakthrough achievement.
In a report by Jornal Notícias, the president revealed an extraordinary incentive aimed at boosting morale: a bonus of 500,000 meticais around N11.3m for every player and member of the technical crew if Mozambique manages to knock out Nigeria.
He assured the team of the nation’s unwavering support and voiced confidence that the Mambas have what it takes to rise to the occasion against the African giants.
