Breaking: You Can’t Abandon This Match, Libya To NFF

The Libyan Football Federation (LFF) has said that it would not condone excuses from the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) to boycott the second leg of the Group D 2025 African Cup of Nations qualifier tie against the Super Eagles.

The LFF disclosed this on its X handle on Tuesday after the Super Eagles pulled out of the match, scheduled for Tuesday, October 15, citing safety concerns after being stranded at Al Abaq Airport for more than 13 hours due to an unexpected flight diversion on Sunday.

Sharing several photos of their players’ training session, LFF wrote: “Some may be used to putting up obstacles before the match, but here in the heart of Benghazi, specifically on the grounds of the Martyrs of Benina Stadium, there is no room for excuses after the starting whistle.
