  Libyan Football Federation President Resigns


The President of the Libyan Football Federation, Abdelhakim Al-Shalmani, has announced his resignation during a regular meeting of the Federation’s General Assembly.

According to The Libya Observer, an English and Arabic online newspaper based in Tripoli, Libya, in a post on Monday via its website, the decision was made on Sunday.


Shalmani’s resignation comes amid growing tension regarding the treatment of the Nigerian national football team, the Super Eagles, who faced significant challenges during their recent trip to Libya for a crucial Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifier.

The Super Eagles were reportedly left stranded at the airport for over 14 hours without access to food, Wi-Fi, or proper accommodations, leading to widespread condemnation from Nigerian officials and fans alike.


The treatment of the Nigerian team has drawn sharp criticism and calls for accountability, raising questions about the readiness of Libyan authorities to host international sporting events.

“I do not want to be part of the failure in Libyan sports,” Al-Shalmani was quoted.

Addressing the assembly on Sunday, Al-Shalmani reflected on the challenges faced during his tenure.


“We faced difficulties during the previous period,” he acknowledged, before expressing gratitude to his colleagues.

“I thank all members of the General Assembly, and I forgive everyone from all segments of the sports sector,” he added.

Despite the circumstances leading to his resignation, Al-Shalmani stood firm on his record of service.


“I have a history in the International, Arab and African Federation, and no one can deny that,” he added.

The resignation comes at a turbulent time for Libyan football.
