 Ekong: Eagles didn’t demand special bonus — we only want outstanding allowances cleared


William Troost-Ekong says the Super Eagles are not boycotting training due to a special bonus demand ahead of the African playoffs for the 2026 World Cup.

In a tweet on Tuesday, the Eagles captain confirmed the team boycotted training over unpaid allowances and bonuses by the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF).

Ekong was reacting to reports that the players had demanded an increase in their bonuses for the World Cup playoffs.

The players and officials refused to carry out their scheduled Tuesday evening training session in protest.

TheCable understands that players are yet to receive their allowances for qualifying for the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) and the 2026 World Cup playoff.

Some older members of the team are reportedly owed bonuses dating back to 2019.

Nigeria play Gabon in one of the semi-finals for the 2026 African World Cup playoffs on Thursday.

The winner of the match will face either Congo DR or Cameroon in the final to clinch the sole slot to represent Africa at the intercontinental playoff.

All the 24 players invited by Eric Chelle, the team’s manager, are currently in Rabat. The players are not expected back in training except the outstanding issue is addressed.

Ekong added that all the players want is a quick resolution and to “focus on the big games ahead”.
