Tension has hit the Super Eagles camp ahead of the 2026 World Cup Qualifiers (WCQ) playoffs, as players reportedly boycotted a training session over unpaid bonuses. The Nigerian national team is currently in preparation for crucial matches, but unresolved financial issues have sparked unrest among the squad.

Sources close to the team revealed that several players were frustrated with delays in payment of performance bonuses from previous matches and sponsorship deals. The boycott led to a temporary halt in training, with team officials scrambling to address the situation.

The Nigerian Football Federation (NFF) is said to be engaging with players’ representatives to resolve the matter quickly. The situation underscores ongoing concerns about administrative and financial management in Nigerian football.

Despite the disruption, team officials emphasized that preparations for the WCQ playoffs will continue once the bonus issue is resolved. Fans have expressed concern online, urging all parties to find an amicable solution to keep the team focused on qualifying for the 2026 World Cup.
