AFCON 2025: Super Eagles players banned from interviews ahead Algeria clash

Super Eagles players have been banned from talking to journalists during their open training on Thursday.

This was confirmed by the team’s media officer, Promise Efoghe, in a terse statement.

Efoghe however noted that reporters will have a 15-minute access.

According to him, this is due to the events of the past few days, including the bonus row that lead to the team’s late arrival in Marrakech, where they will play Algeria in the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations quarter-final.

Efoghe said: “Interactions with the players earlier scheduled for today have been called off in the wake of recent developments, including the late time of arrival time to Marrakech.

“I urge us to respect the decision of the players not to speak at this time.”
