AFCON 2025 qualifier: Super Eagles still stranded at airport in Libya

The Super Eagles are still stranded at the Al Abaq Airport 12 hours after landing in Libya.

The chartered ValueJet aircraft was strangely and in a dangerous manner, diverted to the small airport away from Benghazi just as the pilot was completing his approach to the Benghazi Airport on Sunday night .

The Lbyan Football Federation failed to send any reception team or even vehicles to take the delegation members from the airport to their hotel, said to be 3 hours away in Benghazi, according to to the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF).

The NFF made arrangements for separate vehicles for the team but the plan was unhinged by the diversion of the aircraft.

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

The Super Eagles are scheduled to play Libya on Tuesday, following their 1-0 victory in the first leg last Friday.
