Newnaija 3 weeks ago 0 1

The Confederation of African Football, CAF, has released a statement over the delaying of the Nigerian national team at an airport in Libya.

Players and officials of the Super Eagles were abandoned at the Al Abraq International Airport without food, water or Internet for over 15 hours.

They have eventually left the North African country and will not play the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier that was scheduled for Tuesday

CAF has now referred the matter to its Disciplinary Board for investigation.

An official statement read: “The Confederation Africaine de Football (CAF) has been in contact with the Libyan and Nigerian authorities after it had been informed that the Nigerian National Football Team (‘’Super Eagles’’) and their technical team were stranded in disturbing conditions for several hours at an airport that they were allegedly instructed to land by the Libyan authorities.

“The matter has been referred to the CAF Disciplinary Board for investigation and appropriate action will be taken against those who violated the CAF Statutes and Regulations.”
