If their demands are not satisfied, Super Eagles players have promised not to play against Gabon in the 2026 World Cup playoffs on Thursday. Due to unpaid allowances that allegedly date back several years, the team declined to workout on Tuesday. Additionally, the Nigeria Football Federation, or NFF, has not yet issued an official statement as of this morning. Adepoji Tobi Samuel, the publicity officer for Shooting Stars, stated on X: “8:15am: “The NFF has not released an official statement. “Since yesterday, the Super Eagles’ official media organization has remained silent. “The players promised before bedtime yesterday that they wouldn’t play until the NFF paid out all outstanding bills. The Super Eagles’ executives have communicated with the National Sports Commission (NSC).I was informed by the NSC that further money for the NFF were released last night. Additionally, the NSC informed me that funds owed to the NFF for the FIFA World Cup qualifiers have been released. Ibrahim Gusau, the president of the NFF, is scheduled to meet with the players this morning. “I hope that when they meet this morning, there will be a solution and a compromise from both sides.”
