Super Eagles players have threatened not to travel to Marrakech for the next Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) match against Algeria until the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) pays all outstanding victory bonuses.
A highly reliable source within the team disclosed this to Vanguard.
According to the source, participants and officials are still waiting for incentive payments from the competition.
It was learned that the win bonuses for the four matches against Tanzania, Tunisia, Uganda, and Mozambique have yet to be determined.
While the team is still dedicated to the competition, our source indicated that they will neither train nor fly to Marrakech for the next match unless the outstanding payments are handled.
In November, the team threatened to boycott its 2026 World Cup qualifier against Gabon, alleging unfulfilled obligations.
In a joint statement signed by players and staff, the squad said, “The full squad, including officials, withheld from training today in Morocco because of unresolved issues with outstanding payments. The Super Eagles are awaiting a quick resolution to continue preparations for Thursday’s game with Gabon.”
