Three points and three goals has been awarded by the Confederation of African Football (CAF) to Nigeria for the abandoned game against Libya.
The botched game was scheduled to have taken place on Tuesday 15 October.
A news outlet had earlier confirmed that CAF had previously listened to both Libyan and Nigerian representatives via Zoom, inquiring about the plane’s diversion from Benina Airport to Labraq Airport.
The Libyan Football Federation presented technical reasons related to air navigation, citing the involvement of Secretary General Nasser Al-Suwaie, Assistant Secretary General Mohamed Qrimida, and Tunisian lawyer.
Conversely, the Nigerian Federation called upon the plane’s Tunisian captain as a witness to provide firsthand details of the incident.
Meanwhile, sources close to Libya Al-Ahrar Channel had indicated that the Libyan Football Federation will appeal the decision if it is unfavorable.
Details shortly…
