Super Eagles' Players boycott Training over Unpaid Allowances

Ben Achi

The Super Eagles' captain, William Troost-Ekong has confirmed reports that the team boycotted training over unpaid allowances ahead of the African playoffs for the FIFA 2026 World Cup.

The players were said to have boycotted their training in protest of unpaid allowances by the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) on Tuesday, November 11, 2025.

It was gathered that the players are yet to receive their allowances for qualifying for the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) and the 2026 World Cup playoff.

Reacting via a post on his X handle on Tuesday night, Troost-Ekong confirmed that the team boycotted training over unpaid allowances and bonuses by the NFF.

The Super Eagles captain, however, stated that the players didn’t demand a special bonus.

He wrote: “Once resolution is found we will be the first to confirm.

“Any other statement/claim or especially demands other than the rightful request written about below is false.

“All we want and continue to do is focus on the big games ahead.”

Nigeria will play Gabon in one of the scheduled matches for the 2026 African World Cup playoffs on Thursday, November 13, 2025.
