CAF Demands Respons From Libya Relating To The Cancellation Of AFCON Match With Nigeria.
The Libyan Football Federation has been asked by the CAF to provide documents relating to the cancellation of the AFCON qualifying Group D match against the Super Eagles of Nigeria.
Earlier, the Super Eagles squad refused to play the match with Libya because of the hostility the went through in Libya, when their plan was diverted to Labraq Airport and held hostage at the airport for over 18 hours without food and water.
The Super Eagles boycotted the match because of the hostility they received and came back home.
According to Libya Al-Ahrar Channel, the Secretary-General and person in charge of running the body, Nasser Al-Suwaie, confirmed in a special statement to Libya Al-Ahrar that CAF has given the Libyan and Nigerian associations until the 20th of this month to submit the documents related to this file.
However, Al-Suwaie disclosed that the Libya FA has assigned a specialised lawyer to provide evidence, adding that there may be collusion from some parties within the CAF, but the position of the Libyan Federation is strong.
Al-Suwaie further added that the Libyan Federation did not change the airport of the plane’s landing at Al-Abraq Airport, and the reason for changing the plane’s landing to Al-Abraq was a decision by the Libyan state, and that the sovereignty of the Libyan state must be respected by everyone.
The Super Eagles returned to the country on Monday after boycotting the AFCON qualifying clash following the unaccepted airport ordeal.
