Nigeria’s Super Eagles pulled out of the match scheduled for Tuesday, October 15, citing safety concerns after being stranded at Al Abaq Airport for over 13 hours due to an unexpected flight diversion.

In a statement shared by the Libya Observer, the LFF accused the Nigerian Football Federation of failing to cooperate in organizing the match, stating it would take all legal steps to protect the Libyan national team.
