The Confederation of African Football (CAF) has officially referred the controversial Libya vs Nigeria AFCON 2025 Qualifying match incident to its Disciplinary Board for a thorough investigation. This decision comes after the Nigerian team endured hours of delays and mistreatment upon their arrival in Libya, leading to their refusal to play the match.
In a statement released by CAF, the governing body acknowledged the seriousness of the situation and confirmed that appropriate actions will be taken against any individuals or parties found to have violated CAF Statutes and Regulations. “The matter has been referred to the CAF Disciplinary Board for investigation, and appropriate action will be taken against those who violated the CAF Statutes and Regulations,” the statement read.
The Nigerian delegation, including players and technical staff, was delayed for over 12 hours at Al Abraq Airport, raising significant safety and fairness concerns. As CAF investigates the circumstances surrounding this incident, many are watching closely for the outcome, which could set a precedent for ensuring fair treatment and upholding sportsmanship in African football.
