Breaking: Super Eagles Players Threaten To Boycott Algeria Match

Super Eagles players have threatened not to travel to Marrakech for their next Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) match against Algeria.

Reason is the non-payment of their win bonuses for the four matches against Tanzania, Tunisia, Uganda, and Mozambique.

A highly reliable source said the players are adamant that unless the bonuses are paid, that they would yield grounds, a Vanguard report has indicated.

It was gathered that while the team remained committed to the competition, they have said that the only condition they would train or travel to Marrakech for the next match is if the outstanding payments are resolved.

Recall that in November, the team also threatened to boycott their 2026 World Cup qualifier against Gabon, citing unpaid entitlements.

In a joint statement signed by all Super Eagles players, they said:  “The full squad, including officials, withheld from training today in Morocco because of unresolved issues with outstanding payments. The Super Eagles are awaiting a quick resolution to continue preparations for Thursday’s game with Gabon.”
