The Super Eagles of Nigeria boycotted their training session in Rabat, Morocco, on Tuesday ahead of their 2026 FIFA World Cup Africa play-off against Gabon, over unpaid bonuses.

A top team official, who preferred not to be named, confirmed the development to Channels Television.

It was learned that the players, along with some officials, refused to train in protest over outstanding allowances.

The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) had not issued an official statement on the matter as of the time of filing this report.
