    CAF Delists Nigeria, Libya AFCON Qualifier Amidst Controversy

    Published on

    The Confederation of African Football has delisted the Group D second-leg fixture of the ongoing 2025 African Cup of Nations qualifier between the Super Eagles of Nigeria and the Mediterranean Knights of Libya.

    The game was earlier scheduled to take place in Libya by 8 pm after the first leg took place in Godswill Akpabio Stadium, Uyo on Friday.

    The Super Eagles beat the Mediterranean Knights by a lone goal in the dying minute of the game.

    However, the return leg has been greeted with controversy after the Super Eagles players and officials narrated their over 14 hours ordeal at the Libya airport leading them to return home.

    Meanwhile, CAF said it had launched an investigation into the incident after the Libya Football Federation alleged sabotage and threatened legal action against Nigeria.

    The African football body further updated games that would be played on Tuesday without including the Libya versus Nigeria game on its X handle.
