The Super Eagles have resumed training in Rabat, Morocco, after halting activities over unpaid bonuses and allowances.
The standoff, which briefly threatened Nigeria’s preparations for Thursday’s crucial 2026 FIFA World Cup African Qualifier play-off against Gabon, was resolved following the intervention of the National Sports Commission (NSC), Very Nigerian reports.
Team captain William Troost-Ekong confirmed the resolution late Tuesday via his official X handle, assuring fans that unity had returned to the camp. “Issue RESOLVED. We are together and as before focused on the games ahead! 🇳🇬 @NGSuperEagles,” Troost-Ekong wrote.
The players had earlier boycotted training on Monday and Tuesday in protest of what they described as repeated unfulfilled promises by the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) regarding unpaid match bonuses, camp allowances, and appearance fees dating back several international windows.
With the dispute now settled, the team has shifted focus back to its qualification campaign, aiming to secure an early lead in the final stage of the World Cup race.
