Rivers United Flashback: Super Eagles' Boycott Call Exposes Libya's Unfair Tactics Again



In 2021, Rivers United experienced a shocking incident in Libya when they were forced to train in the dark after the stadium lights mysteriously went off during their session. This event highlighted the ongoing issues Nigerian teams face when playing in North Africa, with clear attempts to undermine their preparations. 

The recent treatment of the Super Eagles in Libya, where they were stranded for over 12 hours at the airport, mirrors this lack of sportsmanship. It's a disgraceful display, and many, including Super Eagles supporters, back the players if they choose to boycott their upcoming AFCON qualifier against Libya. Such tactics are unfair and call for immediate intervention from CAF.

This consistent pattern of hostility toward Nigerian teams, whether at the club or national level, needs to end. Now is the time for strong action to be taken, and CAF must step in to address these repeated violations of fair play and respect in African football.
