Alex Iwobi Says Super Eagles Players Have Sometimes Paid for Their Own Flights

Super Eagles midfielder Alex Iwobi says players have sometimes had to arrange and pay for their own travel after flights were not properly organised. He said some players have booked their own tickets, found their own way from the airport and faced other logistical problems while reporting for camp. Despite the challenges, Iwobi says he has no regrets about choosing Nigeria over England and remains proud to represent the Super Eagles. His remarks have revived concerns about the Nigeria Football Federation’s handling of the national team. Should players ever be left to sort out their own travel, and could such issues affect commitment to the Super Eagles?

How can a national team camp run smoothly if players are still arranging flights and airport transport themselves?

It is disappointing that players could face travel stress before even joining up for international duty.

The account is concerning, but it would help to know whether these were isolated disruptions or a recurring planning failure.

The football authorities should assign a travel coordinator, confirm tickets early, and give every player one clear airport-to-camp plan.
