The Confederation of African Football (CAF) has officially removed the Group D second-leg fixture between Nigeria’s Super Eagles and Libya’s Mediterranean Knights from the ongoing 2025 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers. The match was initially scheduled to take place in Libya at 8 p.m. following the first leg held at the Godswill Akpabio Stadium in Uyo, where the Super Eagles secured a narrow 1-0 victory.
Controversy arose ahead of the return leg when Super Eagles players and officials recounted their ordeal of being stranded for over 14 hours at a Libyan airport, ultimately leading them to return to Nigeria. In response to the incident, CAF announced it had launched an investigation, especially after the Libyan Football Federation accused Nigeria of sabotage and threatened legal action.
CAF has since updated its list of scheduled matches for Tuesday, notably excluding the Libya vs. Nigeria game from its official X handle.
