The Nigeria U20s will on Sunday battle their counterparts from South Africa for the ticket to the 2013 AYC in Algeria.
Both teams played out a 1-1 draw in the first leg qualifier in Nelspruit a fortnight ago.
“This is our country and we know the role of football in its unification. And so my foundation will give this cash to the Flying Eagles to ensure they qualify for the AYC,” said the chief executive of Capital Oil and Gas, who is also the Nigeria Youth Football Ambassador.
“This is the Ambassador’s bonus and it is our own little way of supporting the team.”
A further breakdown of the cash reward shows that the players will get $10,000, officials $3,000 while the Most Valuable Player will get $2,000.
Ubah also disclosed that he will host the country’s team to this year’s FIFA U17 Women’s World Cup, the Flamingoes, who reached the last eight before they lost 5-3 on penalties to France on Thursday.
It would be recalled that Ubah also shelled out 10 million Naira along with electronic capsules to the Flying Eagles when they reached the last eight of the 2011 U20 World Cup in Colombia.
