Tension in Super Eagles’ Morocco Camp as Players Reject NFF Bonus Offer

Tension is reportedly rising in the Super Eagles’ camp in Morocco as players have rejected the Nigeria Football Federation’s (NFF) latest bonus offer ahead of their crucial World Cup playoff matches.

The squad is demanding a special bonus of $30,000 per win, a figure significantly higher than the NFF’s offer. According to sources, the federation proposed to maintain the usual $10,000 per win while adding $30,000 per goal against Gabon and $50,000 per goal in the playoff final. This offer, however, has reportedly been rejected by the players. The situation has caused a split in the camp, with some players reportedly supporting the protest, while others, alongside coach Eric Chelle and team officials, have expressed opposition to any form of strike or protest. The dispute comes at a sensitive time as the Super Eagles prepare for the high-stakes playoff matches, and any further delay or disagreement could impact the team’s preparation and performance. Fans and observers have expressed concern over the standoff, noting the importance of maintaining focus ahead of such critical games. The NFF and team management are expected to hold further discussions to resolve the matter and ensure the team is fully prepared for the upcoming matches.
