Several Nigeria national team players have threatened to boycott training sessions on the eve of their quarter-final against Algeria at the Morocco tournament, in protest over outstanding financial dues.
According to what has been revealed, the dispute centres on unpaid bonuses and allowances that the squad says have not been settled ahead of the decisive match.
The situation has created tension inside the Nigerian camp at a sensitive time, with the team preparing for a high-stakes clash in the last eight against Algeria.
Nigeria’s players are understood to have raised their concerns with officials, insisting that their rights must be respected before they return to normal training.
The standoff comes just days before the quarter-final, as Nigeria look to keep their focus on the pitch while administrative issues threaten to disrupt preparations.
