Reported by Oluwaseun Adeniyi
The Libyan Football Federation is under pressure after the Confederation of African Football (CAF) demanded documents explaining the cancellation of the AFCON qualifying match against Nigeria. Nigeria refused to play after their plane was diverted to Labraq Airport and held for 18 hours without food and water.
The Punch reports that Libya\'s Football Federation Secretary-General, Nasser Al-Suwaie, confirmed CAF\'s deadline for submitting documents is the 20th of this month. Al-Suwaie claims the Libyan Federation has strong evidence and has hired a specialized lawyer. He denies any involvement in diverting the plane, blaming the Libyan state\'s decision.
Nigeria\'s team manager, Patrick Pascal, described the harsh conditions at the airport, including deliberately vandalized toilets and players taking turns sleeping on the bare floor.
