 AFCON 2025: Libya files appeal against CAF’s decision to award match to Super Eagles


The Libyan Football Federation, LFF, has decided to appeal the decision of the Confederation of African Football, CAF, to award Nigeria three goals and three goals over their botched 2025 African Cup of Nations qualifier.


According to a Libyan outlet, alwasat.ly, they consider the verdict unfair.


The LFF has now hired Tunisian lawyer, Ali Abbas, to defend its position in the case.


The Match Day 4 fixture was scheduled to be played in Benina on October 15, but was cancelled after the Nigerian delegation saw their flight diverted.


Players and officials of the Super Eagles were then held hostage in an abandoned airport for at least 17 hours.


LFF have also been ordered to pay a fine of $50,000, with payment due within 60 days of notification of the present decision.
