The Confederation of African Football (CAF) has issued an official statement regarding the alleged mistreatment of Nigeria’s Super Eagles during their recent trip to Libya.
According to reports, the Nigerian national team faced subpar conditions while on duty for their international fixture, sparking widespread concern and criticism from football stakeholders across the continent.
In response, CAF’s Disciplinary Board announced that a thorough investigation will be launched to address the allegations. The governing body has assured that appropriate action will be taken against those found guilty of violating CAF’s statutes and regulations.
“CAF is deeply concerned about the reports surrounding the Super Eagles’ experience in Libya. We take matters like this seriously, as the well-being of all teams under our jurisdiction is a top priority. The Disciplinary Board will ensure a full investigation, and those responsible for any violations will face necessary sanctions,” the statement read.
The Super Eagles, one of Africa’s most successful teams, are currently vying for qualification in major international tournaments, and this incident has drawn attention to the need for better conditions for visiting teams in various host countries.
Nigerian fans and officials alike have called for swift justice to prevent such issues from recurring.
As the investigation unfolds, CAF is expected to provide updates on the situation and any disciplinary measures to be taken. The Nigerian Football Federation (NFF) has also expressed its support for CAF’s actions, calling for fair treatment of all teams in African football.
