The Chairman of the National Sports Commission (NSC), Shehu Dikko, says the Super Eagles bonus row has been resolved and that the team will now travel to Marrakech for their quarter-final clash with Algeria in the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON).
Nigeria’s fine outing at the 2025 AFCON took a new twist when reports emerged that the players threatened to boycott their last-eight clash with the Desert Foxes, citing non-payment of match bonuses.
However, Dikko told journalists that the issue has been resolved and that the players will leave Fes for Marrakech (Morocco) ahead of the match on Saturday.
“First and foremost, I tell you, the team trained yesterday, definitely. The team will be traveling today, definitely,” the NSC chairman said on Thursday’s edition of the show, which runs on weekdays.
