6686 Sports News on November 12 According to the British media standard, the Nigerian national team went on strike before the World African Cup pre-playoffs with Gabon due to unpaid wages.

The World African Preliminary Play-offs are about to begin, and the Nigerian national team is also gathering in Rabat, Morocco, to prepare for the upcoming war. However, the Nigerian national team is on strike due to long-term unpaid wages from the Football Association. According to reports, the bonuses for the Nigeria national team’s previous promotion to the African Cup of Nations have not yet been paid, and some players’ allowances and bonuses have even been owed since 2019. Nigeria's international players have met with representatives of the Nigeria Football Federation, but a solution has not yet been reached.

The Nigerian national team also issued a statement: "Due to the unresolved issue of arrears of bonuses, all team members have suspended training in Morocco. We are waiting for the problem to be resolved as soon as possible so that we can continue to prepare for the next game with Gabon."

This training strike also casts a shadow on the prospects of the Nigerian team competing in the 2026 US-Canada-Mexico World Cup.
