Captain William Troost-Ekong announced the development in a post on his verified X handle on Wednesday, saying the team will now concentrate on Thursday’s crucial 2026 FIFA World Cup CAF qualifier against Gabon.
Issue RESOLVED. Outstanding financials cleared and on ground. Team is UNITED and focused as before on representing NIGERIA with our maximum for the games ahead!” Ekong’s post read.
But he did not specify whether the team had trained on Wednesday ahead of the all-important match on Thursday.
Earlier on Tuesday, Ekong had revealed that the team boycotted training in protest over the unpaid allowances and bonuses.
He said that the players had not made any extra demands beyond the settlement of their entitlements.
The World Cup qualifying match against Gabon is scheduled for Thursday at 4 p.m. in Rabat, Morocco.
The winner will advance to the play-off final to face either Cameroon or the Democratic Republic of Congo
