  • Super Eagles midfielder Alex Iwobi has shared a video revealing poor hotel conditions provided for the team in Morocco ahead of their 2026 FIFA World Cup African playoff clash against Gabon, sparking outrage online

Super Eagles midfielder Alex Iwobi has sparked controversy after posting a video showcasing the substandard hotel accommodations provided for the team in Rabat, Morocco. The lodging, arranged by the Confederation of African Football (CAF) ahead of Nigeria’s 2026 FIFA World Cup African playoff match against Gabon, has drawn sharp criticism from both fans and football insiders.

CAF typically organizes hotels for participating nations, but national associations, including the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF), are allowed to request alternative accommodations if needed.

This isn’t the first time Nigerian players have raised concerns about lodging during international tournaments. Earlier this year, Super Falcons captain Rasheedat Ajibade publicly criticised CAF’s hotel arrangements during the Women’s Africa Cup of Nations in Morocco, highlighting ongoing issues with tournament logistics.

The Super Eagles are set to face Gabon on November 13 in the African playoff, aiming to secure a place at the 2026 FIFA World Cup. As of this report, neither CAF nor the NFF has released a statement addressing Iwobi’s video.

The clip has sparked outrage among fans, with many questioning CAF’s commitment to ensuring adequate conditions for players participating in major international competitions.
