Gabon Responds to Super Eagles Boycott Ahead of World Cup Playoffs

Gabon issued a statement after Nigeria's Super Eagles players boycotted training due to unpaid match bonuses dating back to 2019. The Nigerian Football Federation (NFF) assured the players of payment, but the boycott raised concerns about the team's preparation for the crucial FIFA World Cup playoffs against Gabon.

Gabon, led by Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, finished second in their qualifying group and will face Nigeria in the playoffs at the Prince Moulay Abdellah Stadium in Rabat.
