The Super Eagles of Nigeria have returned to training in Rabat, Morocco, following a temporary suspension of activities over unpaid bonuses and allowances.
The standoff, which threatened to derail Nigeria’s preparations for Thursday’s crucial 2026 FIFA World Cup African Qualifier play-off against Gabon, has now been settled after the intervention of the National Sports Commission (NSC), according to Very Nigerian.
Team captain William Troost-Ekong confirmed the positive development late Tuesday via his official X (Twitter) handle, assuring fans that unity had been restored within the squad.
“Issue RESOLVED. We are together and as before focused on the games ahead! 🇳🇬 @NGSuperEagles,”

The players had boycotted training sessions on Monday and Tuesday in protest over what they described as long-standing unpaid match bonuses, camp allowances, and appearance fees owed by the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) across several international windows.
With the dispute now resolved, the Super Eagles have resumed full training as they turn their focus to the must-win clash against Gabon — a fixture critical to their quest for qualification for the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
