The Super Eagles trained in Fez on Wednesday amid concerns over unpaid bonuses, following reports that players and officials were prepared to boycott training and delay travel plans to Marrakesh unless outstanding entitlements were settled.

Nigeria were scheduled to train on Wednesday before travelling from Fez to Marrakesh on Thursday ahead of their Africa Cup of Nations quarter-final, but tensions surfaced after claims that promised payments for the tournament had not been received.

Veteran sports journalist Oluwashina Okeleji reported on X that players and coaching staff were waiting on bonus payments for four matches at the tournament.

“Players and coaching staff of Nigeria are waiting on AFCON2025 bonus payments,” Okeleji wrote.

“Win bonuses from four matches vs Tanzania, Tunisia, Uganda and Mozambique have yet to be received. Squad remain focus but will not train or travel to Marrakech on Thursday if this isn’t resolved.”

“Officials made a promise to the players and coaching staff ahead of the AFCON2025 tournament.”
