The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) has defended its choice of accommodation for the Super Eagles in Rabat, following concerns raised after midfielder Alex Iwobi’s social media post.
A viral snap from Iwobi, showing a dilapidated view from a hotel window, prompted widespread questions about the team’s welfare ahead of their crucial World Cup qualifying play-off against Gabon.
In response, the NFF clarified that the video captured only the view from the window and not the hotel itself. The federation reassured fans that the team’s accommodation meets professional standards and is suitable for their preparations.
The Super Eagles, who finished second in their CAF World Cup qualifying group behind South Africa, will face Gabon in Morocco as part of the play-off stage.
With World Cup qualification at stake, the NFF emphasised that the focus remains on providing the players with all necessary support to succeed in the upcoming matches.
