CAF Issues Libya, Nigeria Deadline To Submit Documents Relating To Cancellation Of AFCON 2025 Qualifier
LAGOS OCTOBER 17TH (NEWSRANGERS)-The Confederation of African Football, CAF, has asked the Libyan Football Federation, LFF, to submit documents relating to the cancellation of the 2025 AFCON qualifying Group D fixture against Nigeria.
The Super Eagles pulled out of the game which was scheduled for October 15, after their plane was diverted to Labraq Airport and the players held hostage for 18 hours without Internet, food and water.
According to Libya Al-Ahrar Channel, the Secretary-General and person in charge of running the body, Nasser Al-Suwaie, confirmed in a statement confirmed that CAF has given the Libyan and Nigerian associations until October 20 to submit the documents.
Al-Suwaie confirmed that LFF has assigned a lawyer to provide evidence, adding that there may be collusion from some parties within the CAF, but the position of the Libyan Federation is strong.
He insisted that the Libyan Federation had nothing to do with changing the course of the plane’s landing to Al-Abraq Airport.
According to Al-Suwaie, it was a decision taken by the Libyan state, and that the sovereignty of the Libyan state must be respected by everyone.
