2025 AFCON Q/F: NFF fumes over ill-treatment to Super Eagles

Posted : 14 October 2024

The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) on Monday expressed frustration over the ill-treatment meted out to Nigeria’s delegation for Tuesday’s 2025 AFCON qualifier against Libya, as they were left stranded at Al Abraq Airport 12 hours after landing in Libya.


The chartered ValueJet aircraft was unexpectedly and dangerously diverted to the small airport away from Benghazi just as the pilot was completing his approach to Benghazi Airport. It’s understood that Al Abraq International Airport is typically only used for Hajj operations.


Fatigued players and officials remained bewildered as the host Libyan Football Federation failed to send any reception team or even vehicles to transport the delegation members from the airport to their hotel, reportedly located three hours away in Benghazi.


The NFF had arranged for separate vehicles for the team, but this plan was disrupted by the aircraft's diversion.


Players have resolved not to play the match any longer, as NFF officials are making plans to fly the team back home.
