The Libya Football Federation has officially responded to the Confederation of African Football (CAF) regarding the botched 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifier between Libya and Nigeria. The qualifier, which was scheduled to take place last week, was disrupted, prompting an investigation by CAF’s Disciplinary Committee. Libya had been given until October 20 to respond to the allegations surrounding the incident.
On Monday, the Libya Football Federation submitted its official reply to CAF, addressing the concerns raised about the cancellation of the match. In response, CAF has now confirmed that a final decision on the matter will be announced on Wednesday, October 23. The outcome of this decision will determine the next steps for both teams in the qualifying campaign.
Nigeria’s Super Eagles currently sit at the top of their group with seven points, having secured two wins and a draw from their three matches. Meanwhile, Libya is struggling at the bottom of the group with just one point from three games, putting their AFCON qualification hopes in jeopardy.
The Disciplinary Committee’s ruling will be crucial not only for Libya but also for Nigeria, as any decision regarding the botched match could potentially affect the standings and the remaining fixtures in the group. Both teams are eagerly awaiting the verdict to know the next steps in their qualification journey.
With the decision set to be revealed soon, all eyes will be on CAF’s ruling, which could have significant implications for both nations as they aim for a place in the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations.
