The Nigerian Super Eagles Threaten Boycott of AFCON 2025 Quarter-Final Against Algeria Over Unpaid Bonuses

January 7, 2026 – Fes, Morocco
Nigeria's Super Eagles are in crisis mode just days before their crucial AFCON 2025 quarter-final clash against Algeria (scheduled for January 10 or 11 in Marrakech). Players and coaching staff have reportedly threatened to boycott training and delay travel to the match venue due to unpaid win bonuses from the tournament.
Reliable journalist Oluwashina Okeleji (BBC/Al Jazeera) broke the story, stating:
“Players and coaching staff of #Nigeria are waiting on #AFCON2025 bonus payments. Win bonuses from four matches - VS Tanzania, Sudan, Equatorial Guinea & Mozambique - remain unpaid. Super Eagles threaten not to travel to Marrakech for QF vs Algeria.”
The team has won all four group-stage matches, topping their group and advancing impressively, but the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) has yet to settle the outstanding payments.

Key Details:
Unpaid Amounts: Win bonuses for the four group victories.
Actions: Players shunned training sessions and are refusing to board the flight to Marrakech until resolved.
History of Issues: This echoes past disputes, including a similar boycott in November 2025 over unpaid allowances ahead of World Cup qualifiers.

The NFF has not yet issued an official response, but urgent negotiations are reportedly underway to avert a full boycott that could embarrass Nigerian football on the continental stage.

Fans are furious online, calling for accountability from the federation amid the team's strong tournament run.
Story developing rapidly – resolution expected soon to avoid forfeiture.
