Reports from the team’s camp indicate that the dispute, which had caused a temporary halt in their preparations, was resolved after a meeting between the players and NFF officials. With the issue now behind them, the squad is fully focused and ready to resume training for Thursday’s crucial match against the Panthers of Gabon.
The postponed training session had raised concerns about the team’s readiness for the playoff, but with the matter now addressed, the Super Eagles are expected to continue their build-up for the high-stakes game, which will play a pivotal role in securing their spot at the 2026 World Cup.
This development comes as a relief to fans and stakeholders, who were hoping that the players would quickly refocus and put the bonus dispute behind them in time for the upcoming fixture. The Super Eagles are now gearing up for what is expected to be a challenging encounter with Gabon as they aim to take a step closer to World Cup qualification.
