‘It Was A Horrible Experience’ — Eguavoen Recounts ‘Traumatic Ordeal’ At Libya Airport

Super Eagles caretaker coach Augustine Eguavoen says the team went through a traumatic experience in Libya.

Eguavoen and his players were stranded at the Al Abaq Airport for several hours following their arrival in Libya for the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying matchday four encounter against the Mediterranean Knights on Sunday.

The Super Eagles returned to the country on Monday after the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) pulled out of the game.

“Thanks to the Libyans for letting us go, but it was a horrible 18-20 hours of experience and we don’t want to go through that again,” said Eguavoen on arrival in Nigeria Monday.

“It was strange.

“CAF are human, they would do their investigations and come up with solutions.”

  • Exactly and of course the final nail. CAF must penalize Libyan authority for the barbarism.fck

  • Nonsense. See men sleeping on the bench. Libyans must collect.

    This is very shameful by the Libyan authorities! Football is not war, its just a game. CAF should sanction Libya appropriately for this kind of disgraceful behaviour.
