Libya-Nigeria Africa Cup Of Nations Qualifier Postponed Amid Controversy
The Libyan Football Federation: The Africa Cup of Nations qualifier between Libya and Nigeria, scheduled for Tuesday in Benghazi, was postponed following a tense standoff between the two nations.
The Libyan Football Federation (LFF) has pointed fingers at Nigeria for the delay, claiming the visitors refused to play after citing mistreatment upon their arrival in Libya.
The Nigerian squad, including players and officials, endured a chaotic 16-hour ordeal at an airport in Bayda, about 250 kilometers from their intended destination in Benghazi. Their charter flight, redirected while approaching Benghazi, left the Nigerian delegation stranded without access to food, water, or communication with Libyan officials.
