NFF Withdraws Super Eagles from AFCON Qualifier Against Libya After 12-Hour Airport Ordeal

The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) has decided to pull the Super Eagles out of their 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifier against Libya, following a 12-hour delay at Al Abraq International Airport. The team, initially headed for Benghazi, faced an unexpected diversion to the smaller Al Abraq Airport and received no assistance from the Libyan Football Federation. Left stranded without transportation, the fatigued players and officials were unable to reach their hotel in Benghazi, prompting the decision to withdraw from the match. The NFF is now arranging for the team’s return to Nigeria.
