‘Issue Resolved’ – Super Eagles Return to Training

The Super Eagles of Nigeria says it has resolved its issue with the NFF after it boycotted earlier over unpaid allowances.

NEWSMAXNG reports that on Tuesday, the team’s players and officials suspended their scheduled evening training session over outstanding payments owed by the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF).

According to them, the players are yet to receive their allowances for qualifying for the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) and the 2026 World Cup playoff.

Meanwhile, in an X post on Wednesday, Super Eagles captain William Troost-Ekong confirmed that concerns had been settled and assured fans that the players are “as before, focused on the games ahead.”

He wrote, “Issue RESOLVED. We are together and as before focussed on the games ahead!”

The national team is expected to face Gabon on Thursday in one of the semi-finals of the 2026 African World Cup playoffs where the winner takes on either Congo DR or Cameroon in the final to compete for the sole African slot at the intercontinental playoff.
