Super Eagles Boycott Training Session

Nigeria’s Super Eagles on Tuesday boycotted their training session ahead of Thursday’s must-win 2026 FIFA World Cup playoff against Gabon. Reports from the Morocco camp of the eagles cited the non-payment of allowances and bonuses dating back to 2019. Already in camp are 23 players, including Osimhen, Alex Iwobi, Wilfred Ndidi, William Troost-Ekong, Calvin Bassey, Samuel Chukwueze, and Ademola Lookman, with goalkeeper Maduka Okoye still expected to arrive. The Super Eagles are expected to resume training on Wednesday, pending a resolution of the financial dispute, as they seek to stay focused ahead of what is widely regarded as one of Nigeria’s most crucial fixtures in recent years.
