Total chaos/ The well-known national team boycotts the match

The Nigerian national team has taken the extreme decision to boycott the match against Libya, scheduled to be played on Tuesday, October 15.

The reason for this is the scandalous treatment of the Lebanese towards the staff of the national team and the Nigerian players. The fact that they were stranded for 15 hours in the abandoned Libyan airport has prompted the Football Association to boycott the African Cup of Nations qualifier.

"The players decided not to play Tuesday's match and the management is working to bring the team back home," said the federation's director of communications. Nigeria has also sent a protest to the Confederation of African Football alleging that the Nigerian team was stopped at an airport. stranded in Libya, where their charter flight was diverted at the last minute last night and left for over 12 hours without food, drink and forbidden to leave. 

In a letter, Nigeria has addressed the Confederation of African Football, complaining of the inhumane treatment. 

This incident comes after Libya claimed that their players were ill-treated in Nigeria in the match played a week ago, but this was denied by the Nigerian Football Federation.

Last Friday, Nigeria beat Libya 1-0 in Uyo and the return leg was scheduled for Tuesday.

Nigeria leads Group D after 3 games with 7 points, while Libya is last with only one draw.
