Kwara State Governor Abdulrahman Abdulrazaq has approved a reward of N5 million for each player and technical crew member of Kwara United Football Club following their historic victory in the 2025 President Federation Cup.
The Harmony Boys secured their first-ever Federation Cup title after defeating Abakaliki FC 4-3 on penalties in the final match played in June. This landmark achievement marks the first time Kwara United has won Nigeria's oldest football competition.
As part of their reward for clinching the prestigious trophy, the Ilorin-based club has earned a spot in the CAF Confederation Cup for the upcoming season, with the preliminary draw scheduled to take place later this month.
The governor's generous gesture is expected to serve as a significant morale booster for the team as they prepare for more challenges in the upcoming football campaign, including their continental duties.
Kwara United's journey to Federation Cup glory culminated in a tense penalty shootout victory after a closely contested final against Abakaliki FC. The team's historic achievement has brought pride to Kwara State and established them as a rising force in Nigerian football.
The financial reward comes at a crucial time as the team begins preparations for their continental campaign in the CAF Confederation Cup, where they will represent Nigeria alongside other qualified clubs from across the continent.
