CAF to decide on Super Eagles’ maltreatment in Libya

The Confederation of African Football (CAF) has arranged Tuesday, October 22, 2024, to decide on the botched 2025 African Cup Of Nations (AFCON) qualifier between the Mediterranean Knights of Libya and Super Eagles of Nigeria in Benina.
The football body, having referred the matter to their disciplinary board, will meet in Addis Ababa, the capital of Ethiopia.
Libya were to have welcomed the Super Eagles last Tuesday night in Benina, near Benghazi, after both teams first clashed in Uyo in continuation of the 2023 AFCON qualifying series. But CAF postponed the Group D match after the Super Eagles were held hostage for over 20 hours at Al Abraq in Libya.
According to Scorenigeria.com.ng, experts believe that Libya breached CAF fair play regulations and will be sanctioned accordingly.
Some people have suggested Libya will forfeit the match and also be fined, while some are of the opinion that the match will be replayed at a neutral venue.
