The Confederation of African Football (CAF) has set Tuesday, October 22, 2024, as the date to make a decision regarding the abandoned 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifier between Libya’s Mediterranean Knights and Nigeria’s Super Eagles. The match, which was slated to take place in Benina, ended in controversy and was subsequently referred to CAF’s disciplinary board for further review.
CAF officials have called for a meeting in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, where they will thoroughly examine the circumstances surrounding the botched fixture and make a ruling on the matter. The outcome of this meeting will determine the next steps for both teams in the qualifying campaign, as well as any potential sanctions or rescheduling that may arise from the incident. Both Libya and Nigeria are eagerly awaiting the decision, which could have significant implications for their chances of securing a place in the 2025 AFCON tournament.
