The Confederation of African Football, CAF, has asked the
Libyan Football Federation, LFF, to submit documents relating to the
cancellation of the 2025 AFCON qualifying Group D fixture against Nigeria.
The Super Eagles pulled out of the game which was scheduled
for October 15, after their plane was diverted to Labraq Airport and the players
held hostage for 18 hours without Internet, food and water.
According to Libya Al-Ahrar Channel, the Secretary-General
and person in charge of running the body, Nasser Al-Suwaie, confirmed in a
statement confirmed that CAF has given the Libyan and Nigerian associations
until October 20 to submit the documents.
Al-Suwaie confirmed that LFF has assigned a lawyer to
provide evidence, adding that there may be collusion from some parties within
the CAF, but the position of the Libyan Federation is strong.
He insisted that the Libyan Federation had nothing to do
with changing the course of the plane’s landing to Al-Abraq Airport.
According to Al-Suwaie, it was a decision taken by the
Libyan state, and that the sovereignty of the Libyan state must be respected by
everyone.
