The Super Eagles of Nigeria have landed in Marrakesh, Morocco, for their quarter-final match of the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON).
On Wednesday, the players and officials of the Eagles threatened to boycott the trip to the host city of their quarter-final match at the AFCON due to unpaid allowances.
Nigeria will face Algeria in the quarter-final on Saturday in Marrakesh, another city five hours away from Fez, their previous base. The team was scheduled to travel from Fez to Marrakesh on Thursday.
The protest forced the federal government to fast-track the payment of the match bonuses for the Eagles’ four previous matches at the 2025 AFCON.
