The Libyan Football Federation has insisted that the decision of the country to change the Super Eagles’ landing plan must be respected.

This is just as it is reported that the Federation is in a state of panic after being asked by the Confederation of African Football (CAF) to submit documents related to the cancellation of the AFCON qualifying Group D match against Nigeria.
The match was called off after the Nigerian team refused to play following an ordeal in which their plane was diverted to Labraq Airport, where they were held for 18 hours without access to food or water.
According to Libya Al-Ahrar Channel, Nasser Al-Suwaie, the Secretary-General of the Libyan Football Federation, confirmed in a special statement that CAF has given both the Libyan and Nigerian football associations until the 20th of this month to submit the required documents concerning the incident.
Al-Suwaie disclosed that the Libya FA has hired a specialized lawyer to gather evidence for the case.
He also suggested possible collusion from some within CAF but stated that the Libyan Federation’s position remains strong.
He further clarified that the Libyan Federation was not responsible for changing the plane’s landing to Al-Abraq Airport.
Instead, he emphasized that the decision was made by the Libyan state and that the country’s sovereignty must be respected.
Meanwhile, the Nigerian Super Eagles returned to their country on Monday with disturbing reports of their experience.
Team manager Patrick Pascal recounted how the team had to take turns sleeping on the bare floor at the airport.
He also alleged that Libyan officials had deliberately made the toilets unusable in anticipation of the team’s arrival.
