The President, Ex-Iwuanyanwu Nationale Worldwide, Isaac Mbika, has asserted that Heartland FC players will receive N50,000 for every goal they score against Gombe United on Sunday in the Nigeria Premier Football League Matchday 33 tie slated for the Dan Anyiam Stadium, Owerri.

The Naze Millionaires are still in the relegation zone, and to ensure that the club fights for topflight safety until the very end, Mbika addressed the players and other officials of the club during their training session, affirming that the remaining games are winnable if everyone in the club puts their mind to it.

Mbika urged the players to motivate themselves and see the six remaining games as matches they can win no matter where they are played.

"On behalf of Ex-Iwuanyanwu Nationale Players Worldwide, I want to say that you shall receive N50,000 for each goal you score on Sunday against Gombe United.

"What I promised you before, I redeemed it, and this shall be fulfilled also,"

Mbika, who was in the company of the Sports Commissioner, Honourable Obinna Onyeocha, and the Imo Sports Commission boss, Ambassador Prince Eleazar Ogbonna, said.

"I will also speak with members of Ex-Iwuanyanwu Nationale Worldwide, including Kanu Nwankwo, so that they key into it. We want the players to stay focused and have it in mind that we are going to win the remaining six games, both home and away. You must motivate yourself to achieve the results."

The Ex-Iwuanyanwu Nationale Worldwide President had promised Heartland FC a financial reward if they beat Abia Warriors in one of their previous games, and he redeemed the cash after the club won the game in Awka.

Recall that the Naze Millionaires have only notched up 3 wins in their last 6 home matches and will take on Gombe United, who have faced 88 percent away losses this season.

The match between Heartland FC and Gombe United promises to be a tactical battle with both teams showcasing defensive prowess in limiting the goal-scoring opportunities.
