The Libyan Football Federation condemns the Super Eagles for boycotting the match and warns of potential legal action.

The Libyan Football Federation (LFF) has strongly criticized the Nigerian Football Federation (NFF) and the Super Eagles for refusing to play against Libya in the African Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifiers, following an airport incident in Libya. 

According to the LFF, Nigeria's decision has caused unnecessary disruption, and they are now preparing legal action to address the issue, as reported by KapitalSports. In an official statement, the LFF expressed disappointment with Nigeria’s actions, accusing the NFF of neglecting its responsibilities, which led to the match's cancellation.

The AFCON qualifier, initially scheduled for Tuesday, October 15, was to be the second leg between the two teams, after a previous match in Nigeria. The LFF noted that despite several challenges, Libya had fulfilled its obligations for the first leg in Nigeria. 

They also shared footage showing what they described as "inhumane" conditions that the Libyan team endured, yet still participated. In contrast, they accused Nigeria of refusing to cooperate for the second leg.

The Libyan Federation now plans to pursue legal action to address Nigeria's withdrawal, emphasizing the lack of cooperation throughout the entire qualifying tie.
