Nigeria\u2019s Super Eagles have resumed training ahead of their crucial 2026 FIFA World Cup playoff against Gabon, following a temporary boycott over unpaid bonuses.<\/p>\n

The players and officials had earlier refused to train in Morocco, where the match is set to take place, in protest against delays in settling their allowances and appearance fees.<\/p>\n

Team captain William Troost-Ekong confirmed on Wednesday that the matter has been resolved. \u201cIssue RESOLVED. Outstanding financials cleared and on the ground. Team is UNITED and focused as before on representing NIGERIA with our maximum for the games ahead,\u201d he said in a statement.<\/p>\n
