SUPER EAGLES BOYCOTT TRAINING IN RABAT OVER UNPAID BONUSES
Nigeria’s Super Eagles and their technical staff boycotted training in Rabat on Tuesday over unresolved bonus payments, raising concerns ahead of their 2026 FIFA World Cup Africa play-off semi-final against Gabon
The squad, along with officials, withheld their participation in protest, citing outstanding allowances dating back to 2019 for achievements including reaching the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations and qualifying for the World Cup play-offs, according to BBC Sports journalist, Oluwashina Okeleji.
Okeleji reported on X that the players and staff were “awaiting a quick resolution to continue preparation for Thursday’s game.”
He added that none of the Super Eagles players had received their allocated bonuses, describing the situation as “tired of empty promises.”
