Ekong to CAF - "we won't play" under these conditions
Following the unpalatable condition put in since arriving in Libya on Sunday, Super Eagles captain, William Troost-Ekong has stated that the team will not play, Nigeriasoccernet.com reports.
The Super Eagles of Nigeria were held and left stranded at the Al-Abraq airport, about 4 hours by road to Benghazi.
Even though the team has now been cleared on Monday morning to move to Benghazi, Ekong says the team will not play the African Cup of Nations qualifying match against Libya.
"We have kept our spirit up but these are no conditions we will accept when done on purpose. Traveling by road is not safe here and you can only imagine how they would treat us in the hotel or the food they will try to give us. It was funny before, but as a team we respect ourselves and under these conditions, we won't play."
The match between the Mediterranean Knights and Super Eagles is scheduled for Tuesday in Benghazi.
