A Japanese plastic surgeon, Katsuya Takasu, touched by the indomitable spirit of Nigeria’s U23 Dream Tem VI, has promised to reward each member of the squad with $30,000, should they win the men’s football event at the 2016 Olympics.
And if they failed, Takasu assured that each player gets $20,000 for silver and $10,000 for bronze.
“I read about the financial problems affecting the team and I felt the need to make a big contribution,” Takasu told BBC Sport.

“I am not doing this for media attention but to motivate a team with an indomitable spirit. I fell in love with the Nigerian team because despite all these problems they are in the quarter-finals of the Olympics.
“Whether they win or not, I will still donate something to help alleviate the challenges in paying their bonuses and allowances.”
