Super Eagles captain William Troost-Ekong has confirmed reports that the team boycotted training over unpaid allowances ahead of the African playoffs for the 2026 World Cup.
The Super Eagles players were said to have boycotted their training in protest of unpaid allowances by the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) on Tuesday.
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.
Speaking via a post on X 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.”
