AFCON: Anxiety As CAF Decide Nigeria- Libya Fate Today
The football community in Nigeria and beyond is on edge as the Confederation of African Football (CAF) prepares to announce its verdict on the disputed 2025 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying match between Nigeria and Libya. The controversy erupted after Libyan authorities allegedly subjected the Super Eagles to inhumane treatment upon arrival for the second leg tie.
A disturbing video captured the team’s ordeal, showing players and officials left stranded with their luggage at the airport, while Libyan officials appeared unconcerned and communicated in Arabic. The incident occurred despite Libya’s scheduled hosting of the three-time African champions at the Martyrs of Benina Stadium in Benina, near Benghazi.
However, in a shocking twist, the Nigerian team’s plane was diverted to the remote Al Abraq Airport, over 200 km and a three-and-a-half-hour drive from the original venue.
The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) swiftly filed a formal complaint with CAF, prompting today’s highly anticipated decision. Football enthusiasts eagerly await the outcome, which will likely have significant implications for the qualifying group and the teams involved.
