The Super Eagles of Nigeria have found themselves stranded at Al-Abraq Airport in Libya, hours after arriving for their crucial Africa Cup of Nations qualifier against Libya in Benghazi.
The Nigerian team, which landed ten hours ago, is reportedly being held at the airport, unable to continue their journey to the match venue. Al-Abraq Airport, located about four hours by road from Benghazi, has become the scene of frustration and uncertainty for the Nigerian contingent.
The Super Eagles are due to face Libya in the return fixture of the AFCON 2025 qualifiers on Tuesday. However, the Libyan authorities appear to have employed tactics to disrupt Nigeria’s preparations, leaving the team stranded at the airport for over 10 hours, with no clear resolution in sight.
As of now, the Nigerian team remains at the airport, locked in limbo, unsure of their next steps as the clock ticks towards the match. This incident adds to the tension surrounding what was already expected to be a fiercely contested encounter.
