2025 AFCON Qualifier: Confederation of African Football Confirms Postponement of Libya vs. Nigeria Match Amid Controversy
The Confederation of African Football (CAF) has recently provided an update regarding the controversial match between Libya and Nigeria, which has ultimately been unofficially canceled.
The Super Eagles of Nigeria expressed their refusal to participate in the game, leading to significant confusion surrounding the fixture.
Despite the uncertainty, the Libya Football Federation continued with its preparations for the match scheduled for Tuesday evening as they maintained their focus on organizing the event, expecting the game to proceed as planned but however, CAF formally notified the Libya Football Federation that the match would be postponed. This announcement came as a surprise given the ongoing preparations and the anticipation surrounding the fixture.
CAF attributed the postponement to various circumstances and challenges encountered in organizing the match on time. This decision underscores the complexities involved in coordinating international fixtures, particularly under pressing conditions.
