Gatekeepers News reports that Super Eagles has confirmed that Air Peace has redeemed the N20 million pledge its Chairman promised the team as they prepared to jet out for their second round Group C 2022 World Cup qualifier game.
Prior to Eagles match against Cape Verde in Mindelo, Chairman of Air Peace Allen Onyeama promised to gift the Nigeria male football team N20 million on defeating Cape Verde.
