Nigeria's AFCON 2025 Title Quest in Jeopardy Over Unpaid Coach Salaries

Nigeria's national football team's preparation for AFCON 2025 has been disrupted due to coach Eric Chelle's unpaid salaries, leading to a crisis within the team. The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) announced the coach's appointment in January, but reports reveal that Chelle has not been paid for three months.

This issue has sparked mixed reactions among Nigerian fans and former football administrators like Sani Toro, who criticized the players for alleged indiscipline during the World Cup playoffs. The situation has cast a shadow over Nigeria's ambitions to excel in the upcoming tournaments.
