Africa’s Football Governing Body, The Confederation Africaine de Football (CAF) has reached out to both Libyan and Nigerian authorities regarding the troubling situation faced by the Nigeria Super Eagles.

Reports indicated that the team and their technical staff were stranded for several hours under concerning conditions at an airport where they were allegedly directed to land by Libyan officials.

In light of these developments, CAF has taken the matter seriously and has referred it to its Disciplinary Board for a thorough investigation. The board will assess the circumstances surrounding the Super Eagles’ ordeal, particularly the actions of those involved in directing the team to the airport.
CAF is committed to upholding its statutes and regulations and has emphasized that appropriate actions will be taken against any individuals or entities found to have violated these rules. The organization is dedicated to ensuring the integrity and safety of all teams participating in its competitions.

As the investigation unfolds, CAF aims to address any issues related to the treatment of the Super Eagles and to prevent similar occurrences in the future. The welfare of players and officials remains a top priority, and CAF will work to ensure that such situations do not disrupt the spirit of fair play in African football.
