I think this punishment meted to the Libyans is trivial.

Firstly, you endangered the lives of a full national team when you diverted the flight away from the initial destination.

Secondly, you abused the players emotionally, physiological by passing the team through that ordeal.

The verdict should have read that the Libyan national team is barred from holding any of their home matches on home soil for the next five years.

Then Nigerian team should be reimbursed what ever amount of penny that was used to persecute the botched match

Libyan officials Fa is barred from holding any caf position.

'3 points and 3 goals' - Nigeria Super Eagles WIN as CAF slaps Libya with HUGE fine after 'hostage' situation
'3 points and 3 goals' -

The Confederation of African Football (CAF) announced the decision on October 23, 2024, after the Libya Football Federation was found to have breached multiple regulations regarding the treatment of the Nigerian team.







The match, originally scheduled for October 15 in Benghazi, was marred by significant logistical issues. The Nigerian squad's flight was diverted without warning, forcing them to land at an airport far from their intended destination.

Upon arrival, they were held for nearly a full day without adequate food or water, leading to widespread outrage and condemnation from Nigerian officials and fans alike.


In its ruling, CAF's Disciplinary Board declared the match a forfeit for Libya with a scoreline of 3-0 in favour of Nigeria.

The Libya Football Federation is found to have breached Article 31 of the African Cup of Nations Regulations as well as Articles 82 and 151 of the CAF Disciplinary Code.

Additionally, Libya has been fined $50,000, which must be paid within 60 days. The decision shows the seriousness of the violations committed by Libyan authorities and aims to set a precedent for future conduct in international matches.



CAF's Disciplinary Board, composed of members from various African nations, emphasised that such treatment of visiting teams is unacceptable and must be addressed decisively.

The ruling comes after extensive discussions and investigations into the incident, which included testimonies from both Nigerian and Libyan officials.
