The Super Eagles of Nigeria are set to return to training following an earlier boycott over unpaid allowances.
On Tuesday, Super Eagles players and officials of the national team boycotted their scheduled evening training session over outstanding payments owed by the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF).
The players are yet to receive their allowances for qualifying for the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) and the 2026 World Cup playoff.
Details of the negotiations and terms agreed upon between the team and the football administrators were not disclosed.
In a post on X, Super Eagles captain William Troost-Ekong confirmed that concerns had been settled and assured fans that the players are “as before, focused on the games ahead.”
He wrote, “Issue RESOLVED. We are together and as before focussed on the games ahead!”
