The Confederation of African Football (CAF) has awarded Nigeria’s Super Eagles a 3-0 win over Libya in the 2025 African Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifiers, citing Libya’s failure to meet hosting standards.
Following Nigeria’s 1-0 victory in Uyo, Akwa Ibom State, the team faced delays and logistical issues for the return leg in Benghazi, prompting a complaint.
CAF’s disciplinary board fined Libya $50,000 for violating regulations, giving Nigeria an edge in the qualifiers.
The Super Eagles now lead with 10 points, positioning them favorably for AFCON 2025 qualification with only two games remaining.
