2025 AFCON qualifier: Super Eagles, Libya match will not hold — CAF

The Confederation of African Football (CAF) has announced that the second leg of the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifier fixture between the Super Eagles and Libya, scheduled for Tuesday, will not take place.

This follows the Nigerians’ boycott of the fixture in protest against what they described as the inhumane treatment they suffered in the North African country.

A statement from CAF read, “The TotalEnergies CAF Africa Cup of Nations Morocco 2025 qualifier fixture between Libya and Nigeria will not take place as scheduled tonight. The matter will be referred to the competent CAF bodies.”

CAF had, on Monday, in response to the controversy surrounding the game, stated that it had launched an investigation into the incident after the Libya Football Federation alleged sabotage and threatened legal action against Nigeria.
