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.”

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

Chucks13:
But seriously is NFF mad or something? So to hired a good hotel now a big problem pls what kind of useless people are all these everywhere in this country?

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

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

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.

KingOfAmebo:
