BREAKING: Nigeria’s Super Eagles Threaten To Boycott Algeria Match Over Unpaid AFCON Bonuses
Nigeria’s Super Eagles players have threatened not to travel to Marrakech for their next Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) match against Algeria unless all outstanding winning bonuses are paid by the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF).
Multiple journalists reporting from Morocco revealed that the players are insisting on the settlement of their entitlements before taking part in the fixture.
According to reports, the team remains committed to the competition but has drawn a clear line over the unpaid bonuses.
As of the time of filing this report, all attempts by Hifox news to obtain a reaction from the Super Eagles and NFF proved unsuccessful. Calls and WhatsApp messages sent to the Super Eagles Media officer were ignored.
