AFCON: CAF issues Libya deadline over Eagles hostage drama

CAF has issued a Sunday deadline to Libya to forward relevant documents in respect of a Group D 2025 AFCON qualifier against the Super Eagles that was not eventually played on Tuesday night in Benina.
The Super Eagles refused to play the game and flew back to Nigeria after they were held at a Libyan airport for 20 hours.
CAF thereafter cancelled the match and referred the matter to their disciplinary board.
Nasser Al-Suwaie, the LFF Secretary-General, told Libya Al-Ahrar Channel that a specialised lawyer has been assigned to represent Libya in the case.
CAF’s verdict is expected on Tuesday.
