Nigerian international footballers Ola Aina and Alex Iwobi were left stunned after discovering they had to share a double bed during their stay at the national team’s hotel for international duty. The unexpected accommodation mix-up has sparked humorous reactions from fans and raised concerns about the team’s logistical arrangements.
Aina, who plays for Nottingham Forest, took to social media to share a video of Iwobi’s reaction to the situation. In the clip, the Fulham midfielder could be seen looking visibly surprised as he processed the reality of sharing a bed with his teammate.
“Look at my roomie,” Aina captioned the video, capturing Iwobi’s bewildered expression as he pointed at the single double bed in the room. The footage has since gone viral, with fans and pundits questioning the Super Eagles’ travel logistics.
Logistical Woes Continue for Nigeria’s National Team
This incident is not the first time the Nigerian Football Federation (NFF) has faced criticism over player welfare and accommodation arrangements. In past international fixtures, Super Eagles players have reported issues ranging from unpaid bonuses to subpar travel conditions.
Many fans have taken to social media to react, with some joking that the players should have expected such arrangements, while others called on the NFF to improve travel and lodging standards for the team.
Despite the awkward hotel mix-up, the Super Eagles remain focused on their upcoming fixtures as they aim to secure a spot in the 2026 FIFA World Cup. With players like Iwobi and Aina bringing their Premier League experience to the squad, fans will be hoping the off-field hiccups do not affect their performance on the pitch.
What’s Next for the Super Eagles?
Nigeria’s next game will be a crucial encounter in their World Cup qualifying campaign, with Victor Osimhen and other key players expected to lead the charge. The team will be hoping for a smooth journey—both on and off the field—going forward.
For now, Aina and Iwobi may have to sort out their sleeping arrangements the best they can.
