Super Eagles midfielder, Alex Iwobi, was speechless as he drew attention to the poor condition of the team’s hotel in Rabat, Morocco, ahead of Nigeria’s 2026 World Cup qualifying playoff against Gabon.

In a video post circulating on social media, Iwobi shared images highlighting the poor state and surroundings of the Super Eagles’ accommodation in Morocco.

His post has prompted concerns about the welfare and preparation standards of the Nigerian national team ahead of the Gabon clash on Thursday.

A user, @dele003, wrote: “CAF/FIFA are utterly useless if this is the best hotel accommodation they can get in all of Morocco for a 4-days competition. It just shows the lack of organisation and uselessness that exists within those organisations. The NFF should have sent a party ahead though, maybe they could have rejected such accommodation.”

Another user, @prolific_eric, added: “Players representing the richest black nation on earth. There are still people defending this selfishness and corruption. Countries that don’t have half of Nigeria’s resources are giving their citizens and national players the best treatment. This is not even a 2-star hotel in Morocco. How selfish and pathetic can you be to treat your national team players below average.‼‼‼”

@MiraculousSound tweeted: “After working on the mentality of the players with this bad hotel you put them. Do you expect them to give you good results? For their career and football achievement they should play to qualify, but for #thenff this is bad publicity for Nigerian football.”

@MntwanaThokoza2 claimed: “NFF decided to book the team in a run down part of Morocco (which every country has). They are going to pocket the money, it’s a money looting scheme for them.”

However, not everyone shared the outrage. User @Ameboibadan defended the situation, writing: “There is nothing bad inside where they are, it is part of the training. If they actually have comfort they may forget their mission and lose, so with this, they will know that they must win or else they won’t even get transport come house. Thanks to NFF and Nigeria for this discipline.”

My brother do you know that these corrupt government officials and corrupt politicians are very angry that you and Victor Osihmen are young and very successful professional stars.

That's why they put you guys in that eyesore of an hotel, no other explanation.

If you guys like give your best to the ungrateful godforsaken nation that was recently described as a disgrace

E be like say Morocco don receive one kind explosive alert from south Africa

But then again,Iwobi should just shot up . If they were serious about the qualifiers right from time, they'd at least be chilling by now...

Stay focused and qualify.

See how dirty and unkept that place is, who is responsible for the booking?

Do you expect outsiders to respect and treat you good, when your own country doesn't even give a F about you?

Your guess is good as mine.

They should manage the situation. The goal is to win on Friday.

If they had won all their games they shouldn't be in playoffs

He should be happy they werent lodged in a bROtel....hostel HIIIGOOSE.

You guys are very pathetic, there are countries that are worse than Nigeria but here you are insulting your country because of a statement that came from a criminal and a child molester. I am sorry for you people.

I don't need to read all these.

If he doesn't like the place, why can't he get a cool plt, pay for the entire team and her crew.

He is paid wages in Pounds, "person dey chop money paper for mouth"

This one is our own doing. Are we going to say NFF cannot afford a standard hotel in Morocco?

Secondly, this team like to complain too much all over media. They are also complaining that the officials for the match are South Africans
Who cares if the officials are from Timbuktu or Kutuwenje?

Just play good football and win and stop making excuses around when the match is just few days away.

What a comment what a pity!

One NFF ogbeni don cash out.

You sef be werey. In fact, you are worse than the people you are criticising. The little reputation that Nigeria has in the soccer world as a nation is because people like Okocha, Kanu, Taribo, Finidi, Yekini, Adepoju, Julius, etc., gave their best for the country regardlessof the challenges they faced. While they brought us all glory, they also made name for themselvesin the process. People like you are the reason why Nigeria is struggling in almost every area where we have once thrived because of your unpatriotism

Who is responsible for booking hotel for the National team? Is it FIFA, CAF or NFF? The answer to this will lead us to who to blame? But in all honesty, that place looks like students hostel in higher institutions, very rough and unkept.

These boys are never serious. In the days of Kanu and Okocha you won't see them come online to start complaining or showing off when a very important match is imminent. It shows lack of commitment. Iwobi and Ekong are particularly notorious for doing that.

You won't see Argentina, Brazil or France teams do this nonsense

Do they play football inside room, focus on the pitch, you go sleep or you go play?

SMHFU!

What a shame!

SMHFU!

My own na make you check for bedbugs before you lie down sleep!

This is embarrassing and it must stop. A serious government will sack all those involved if they are government officials and ensure they refund the funds stolen.
