The Confederation of African
Football has delisted 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 game was earlier scheduled
to take place in Libya by 8 pm after the first leg took place in Godswill
Akpabio Stadium, Uyo on Friday.
The Super Eagles beat the
Mediterranean Knights by a lone goal in the dying minute of the game.
However, the return leg has
been greeted with controversy after the Super Eagles players and officials
narrated their over 14 hours ordeal at the Libya airport leading them to return
home.
Meanwhile, CAF said it had
launched an investigation into the incident after the Libya Football Federation
alleged sabotage and threatened legal action against Nigeria.
The African football body
further updated games that would be played on Tuesday without including the
Libya versus Nigeria game on its X handle.
