FIFA council member Amaju Pinnick spoke about Libya’s unfair treatment of the Super Eagles.
He revealed that the long-awaited CAF verdict on the failed 2025 Africa Cup of Nations qualification match between the Super Eagles of Nigeria and Libya will be made public “today or tomorrow”.
Let us remember that the players and officials of the Super Eagles were held hostage at Al Abaq airport for several hours upon their arrival for the match on the fourth qualifying day of AFCON 2025.
The team subsequently boycotted the match and returned to Nigeria.
Pinnick stated that the matter was widely discussed during the CAF executive committee meeting this week.
“CAF is taking this issue very seriously” Pinnick said today during an interview with Arise Television.
“CAF President Patrice Motsepe personifies integrity and Pan-Africanism.
“We discussed it in our executive committee meeting. It was a topic of intense discussion.
“We point out that this is very serious because anything could have happened (to the Super Eagles).
“Therefore, CAF is taking the matter seriously and we will leave no stone unturned.”
