The Nigeria National Football Team left Libya after deciding not to play the match in Benghazi, having been stranded for 18 hours at Ibrik Airport in eastern Libya.

THEY WILL NOT PLAY THE MATCH

According to a report by Libya's official agency LANA, it was stated that the Nigeria National Team withdrew from the match against the Libya National Team scheduled for tomorrow in Benghazi as part of the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers. It was noted that Nigerian players left Ibrik Airport to return to their country.

THEY LEFT LIBYA

A report in the Nigerian press stated that the Nigeria Football Federation unanimously decided to withdraw from the match in Libya following the events that occurred there. Celal Muheşhiş, an official at Ibrik Airport in eastern Libya, stated in a press release that the Nigeria National Team refused to play a match in Libya and decided to return to their country.

THEY LANDED 330 KILOMETERS AWAY

Reports in Libyan media also indicated that the Libya National Team faced the same treatment before the match they played in Nigeria on October 11 in the Africa Cup of Nations preliminary qualifiers, and due to reciprocity, Nigerian players were landed at Ibrik Airport, which is 330 kilometers away from the city of Benghazi where the match was to be played.

OSAYI-SAMUEL PROTESTED

Bright Osayi-Samuel, who plays for Fenerbahçe, made a statement on social media regarding the issue, saying, "I have been stranded at the airport in Libya for 15 hours without any health and safety guarantees..." The star of the Nigeria National Team, Victor Boniface, also stated, "I have been at the airport for almost 13 hours. There is no food, internet, or place to sleep."

SUPPORT CAME FROM OSIMHEN

Victor Osimhen, the Nigerian star of Galatasaray, also made a post on Instagram regarding the issue. The 25-year-old footballer said, "The unfair treatment my brothers and coaches faced at the airport in Libya last night disappointed me. Actions like this are against the spirit of sports. My support is with my team, and I know they will stay strong despite these obstacles. I call on CAF and other football organizations to intervene as my teammates and officials are still stranded at the airport in Libya. This is unnecessary and inhumane. We stand together, stronger than ever."

NIGERIA CAPTAIN: WE WILL GO TO OUR COUNTRY

Finally, Nigeria National Team captain William Troost-Ekong stated in his post, "The power of social media. Fuel is being filled in our plane, and we will be heading to Nigeria soon. Thank you to everyone for their support!"
