The Confederation of African Football (CAF) has removed the Group D second-leg fixture of the ongoing 2025 African Cup of Nations qualifier between the Super Eagles of Nigeria and the Mediterranean Knights of Libya.
The match was earlier slated to take Libya by 8pm after the first leg took place in Godswill Akpabio Stadium, Uyo last Friday.
The Nigerian team won the first encounter with a one goal lead.
But the preparations of the second leg have witnessed a lot of controversies after the Super Eagles players and officials lamented being stranded in Libya airport for over 14 hours.
This was why the players, with the approval of the Nigerian Football Federation, decided to withdraw from playing their upcoming African Cup of Nations(AFCON) qualifying match against Libya.
The Super Eagles team returned back to Nigeria on Monday evening after they allegedly experienced maltreatment and hostilities from their host.
The Confederation of African Football had equally begun a proper investigation into the case of maltreatment instituted by the Nigerian team.
However, in recent posts shared on its various social media platforms on Tuesday morning, the CAF had delisted Nigeria and Libya’s match from today’s fixture.
