Nigerians dey expect say Confederation of African Football (CAF) go impose heavy sanctions on Libya following the botched 2025 AFCON qualifier between Nigeria and Libya. The match, which was marred by controversy and inhuman treatment of the Nigerian team, has sparked widespread outrage and calls for severe penalties against Libya.
According to reports, the CAF has been investigating the incident, and many Nigerians believe that Libya should face significant sanctions for subjecting the Super Eagles to what has been described as “slavery and inhuman treatment”. This treatment is said to be against the African Charter, and as such, many are anticipating a strong response from CAF.
The verdict from CAF is expected to be announced today, and it is likely to have significant implications for both teams and the future of African football. Nigerians are eagerly awaiting the decision, hoping that it will reflect the severity of the situation and serve as a deterrent against such incidents in the future.
The incident has also highlighted broader issues within African football, including the treatment of players and the need for stricter regulations to ensure player safety and dignity. As the football community waits for the CAF’s decision, there is a growing call for more robust measures to prevent such incidents from occurring again.
