A decision by Confederation of African Football (CAF) on the botched 2025 AFCON qualifier between the Super Eagles and Libya in Benina will likely be known on Tuesday, October 22.
CAF, who have referred the matter to their disciplinary board, will meet in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, Tuesday.
Libya were to have welcomed the Super Eagles Tuesday night in Benina, near Benghazi, after both teams first clashed in Uyo in continuation of the 2023 AFCON qualifying series.
However, the Group D match was postponed by CAF after the Super Eagles were held hostage for over 20 hours at an abandoned airport in Libya.
Experts said Libya breached CAF fair play regulations and will be sanctioned accordingly.
Some have suggested Libya will forfeit the match and also be fined, while some said the match will be replayed at a neutral venue.
