According to reports on social media the Super Falcons failed to turn up to their training session.

The Super Falcons arrived Casablanca from Rabat and had a recovery session in the swimming pool.

Hours after they were praised for their performance against the host nation by the NFF President, the players have decided to make a statement by boycotting training.

According to the reports, the players decided not to attend training because of some outstanding incentives that have not been paid.

The players reportedly have not been paid since the 2022 WAFCON qualifiers and have chosen to wait until their bronze medal match to make their demands.

Despite boycotting training, the Super Falcons are scheduled to take on Zambia in the third place playoff on Friday, July 22, 2022 at the Stade Mohammed V, Casablanca.
