The crisis that rocked the Super Eagles’ camp ahead of their FIFA World Cup qualifying playoff against Gabon appears to have been resolved.
Recall that the Nigerian senior national team boycotted their scheduled training session on Tuesday in protest over unpaid bonuses and allowances reportedly dating back to 2019. The situation had sparked widespread concern among fans and stakeholders, fearing it could affect the team’s morale ahead of the crucial tie.
However, reports emerging from Morocco indicate that the issues have now been settled following swift intervention from the National Sports Commission (NSC) and the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF). The players are said to have agreed to return to training, with their next session scheduled for 5 p.m. local time this evening.
This development comes as a huge relief to the team’s technical crew and supporters, as the Super Eagles prepare for what has been described as one of their most important fixtures in recent years, the World Cup playoff clash against Gabon in Morocco.
All eyes will now be on the Super Eagles camp as they look to put the off-field distractions behind them and focus fully on securing qualification.
