The Nigerian national football team has been left stranded at the Al Abraq Airport in Libya for 12 hours, sparking outrage and frustration among players and officials. In a shocking turn of events, the chartered ValueJet aircraft was diverted to the small airport, away from the intended Benghazi Airport, where no reception team or vehicles were provided by the host Libyan Football Federation.
The players, fatigued and disillusioned, have resolved not to play the 2025 AFCON qualifier match against Libya. The Nigerian Football Federation (NFF) is making arrangements to fly the team back home, citing the unacceptable treatment and logistical challenges. This dramatic development throws the match into uncertainty, leaving fans and supporters stunned.
