The Confederation of African Football (CAF) has officially removed the second-leg match in Group D of the ongoing 2025 African Cup of Nations qualifiers between Nigeria’s Super Eagles and Libya’s Mediterranean Knights from its schedule.
Originally set to take place in Libya at 8 PM, this match followed a first leg held at Godswill Akpabio Stadium in Uyo, where the Super Eagles secured a narrow victory with a last-minute goal.
The return leg has been surrounded by controversy due to the Super Eagles’ players and officials recounting a grueling 14-hour ordeal at a Libyan airport, which ultimately forced them to return home.
In response to the situation, CAF has initiated an investigation following claims of sabotage made by the Libyan Football Federation, which has also 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.
