The Confederation of African Football (CAF) will announce its ruling on the contentious AFCON qualifying match between Libya and Nigeria this Wednesday.

The match, initially scheduled for October 15 at the Benina Martyrs Stadium, was canceled under dramatic circumstances.

Reports indicate that the Libyan Football Federation has submitted extensive documentation regarding the events surrounding the first leg, which Nigeria won 1-0.

The controversy arose when Nigeria’s travel plans were disrupted, leading to a nearly 17-hour ordeal at Al Abraq International Airport, approximately three hours from the intended venue.

Following the incident, CAF removed the match from its calendar and referred the case to its Disciplinary Committee for review. Nigeria lodged a formal complaint with CAF, expressing concerns about the treatment of its team.

In response, the Libyan Football Federation criticized Nigeria’s lack of cooperation and has pledged to pursue all legal avenues to protect the interests of its national team.

Meanwhile, CAF has condemned the conditions faced by the Nigerian players, labeling them “extremely dangerous.”
