Just in : NFF Withdraws Super Eagles From AFCON Qualifier After Libya Airport Ordeal
The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) has withdrawn the Super Eagles from Tuesday’s 2025 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier against Libya.
The decision follows a 12-hour ordeal at Al Abraq International Airport in Libya, where the team was stranded since arrival on Sunday afternoon.
The chartered aircraft was diverted mid-flight to Al Abraq, a small airport typically reserved for hajj operations, leaving players and officials without assistance from the Libyan Football Federation.
The NFF stated that the team remained at the airport for over 12 hours, unable to reach their hotel in Benghazi, three hours away.
Super Eagles captain William Troost-Ekong condemned the treatment by Libyan authorities, describing the situation as “disgraceful” and accusing the hosts of playing “mind games.”
The team is being flown back to Nigeria, effectively pulling them out of the fixture.
