Share our post

The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) has announced the withdrawal of the Super Eagles from their upcoming Africa Cup of Nations qualifier against Libya, following a grueling 12-hour experience at Al Abraq International Airport.

The team, which arrived in Libya on Sunday afternoon, faced unexpected challenges when their chartered flight was diverted to Al Abraq, a small airport primarily used for hajj operations. This left players and officials stranded without any support from the Libyan Football Federation, which failed to arrange transportation for the delegation.

As frustrations mounted, the NFF decided it was best to pull the team from the crucial match in Benghazi.
