PHOTOS: Super Eagles Players Stranded In Libya, Resolves Not To Honour Match Against Libya Anymore
The Nigeria Football Federation, on Monday, decided to pull the Super Eagles out of Tuesday’s 2025 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier against Libya.
This follows a frustrating 12-hour ordeal at Al Abraq International Airport in Libya, where the team has been stranded since their arrival on Sunday afternoon.
TrackNews Online reports that the Nigerian delegation was en route to Benghazi for the crucial qualifier when their chartered aircraft was dangerously diverted mid-flight to Al Abraq, a small airport typically reserved for hajj operations.
The unexpected diversion left Super Eagles players and officials stranded without any assistance from the Libyan Football Federation, which failed to provide transportation.
