The reward follows the D'Tigress' remarkable achievement of winning a fifth consecutive AfroBasket title after defeating Mali in the final.
The financial reward, which was gifted to the team, will see each player receive N10 million paid directly into their Zenith Bank accounts, with the remainder to be shared among the technical crew and other officials. This gesture solidifies Zenith Bank's role as a key pillar for women in sports and a major contributor to the success of female athletes in the country. The bank has been the sole sponsor of the women's league for 18 years, nurturing many of the players who have gone on to achieve continental success.
