The Confederation of African Football (CAF) has announced that its disciplinary board will investigate the recent dispute between Nigeria and Libya, Nigeriasoccernet.com can confirm.
The Libyan government allegedly mistreated the Super Eagles after they arrived for the second leg of the 2025 AFCON qualifiers and left them stranded at the airport. This decision follows Libya's claims that Nigeria acted improperly during their visit for the first leg, which Libya won 1-0.
CAF statement reads:
"The Confederation Africaine de Football (CAF) has been in contact with the Libyan and Nigerian authorities after it had been informed that the Nigerian National Football Team (‘’Super Eagles’’) and their technical team were stranded in disturbing conditions for several hours at an airport that they were allegedly instructed to land by the Libyan authorities".
"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".
