CAF Awards Three Points,  Three Goals To Nigeria, After AFCON Qualifiers Controversy Against Libya

The Confederation of African Football (CAF) has awarded Nigeria a win and the full three points in the 2025 African Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifier with Libya that was postponed this month. 

The news of the African football governing body awarding three points, three Goals to the Super Eagles,  and fining the North Africa country was  made known by Italian football journslist Fabrizio Romano on his official Facebook page on Saturday.

Recall that Entertainment Digest reported that the Super Eagles and Libya were originally scheduled to clash at the Martyrs of February Stadium in Benina, Benghazi on October 15, in matchday four of the AFCON qualification series.

The Nigerian national team’s flight landed at the Al Abaq airport but the players and coaches were held for over 20 hours without food and drinks.

The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) would later announce the Super Eagles’ withdrawal from the qualifying match and asked them to return home.
