By Galatasaray forward, Victor Osimhen reacts to the ongoing situations surrounding the Libya vs Nigeria AFCON 2025 qualifiers.
Victor Osimhen has criticized the way Libyan authorities treated the Super Eagles players and officials ahead of the AFCON 2025 qualifiers. The match between Libya and Nigeria was supposed to be held on Wednesday, 15th October.
His post on social media stated “I am disappointed by the unfair treatment my brothers and coaches are facing at the Libya airport last night. Actions like this go against the spirit of sportsmanship. My support is with my team and I know they’ll stay strong despite these obstacles. I call on CAF and other football bodies to intervene, as my teammates and officials are still stranded at the airport in Libya. This is uncalled for and inhumane. We stand together, together than ever.”
The Super Eagles are currently in Libya for their 2025 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying matchday four clash against the Mediterranean Knights.
The black box Nigeria had earlier reported that the team and their officials remained stranded at Al Abaq Airport for several hours after arriving in Libya. This was due to the diversion of their flight to Al Abaq by Libyan authorities on Sunday night, leaving them stranded with no access togod internet and proper accommodation.
