In a significant development, the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) has initiated the process of repatriating the Super Eagles from Libya following a collective decision by the team to withdraw from the highly anticipated second leg match against the Libyan national team.
Sources close to the Super Eagles revealed that the players unanimously chose to forgo the match, citing severe hardship and logistical challenges faced during their stay in Libya. The conditions, which reportedly include inadequate accommodation, limited access to essential facilities, and overall poor coordination, have left the players frustrated and unable to continue with the fixture.
The NFF, acknowledging the players’ concerns, swiftly began coordinating their safe return to Nigeria. A spokesperson from the federation expressed regret over the situation but stressed the importance of prioritizing the players’ well-being and safety. “Our focus now is to ensure the Super Eagles return home without any further difficulties. The NFF is working closely with the relevant authorities to facilitate a smooth repatriation process.”
The decision has sent shockwaves across the football community, as the match was crucial for Nigeria’s qualifying campaign. Football analysts are now speculating on the potential ramifications for the Super Eagles, both in terms of competition and international relations, following this unexpected withdrawal.
Further updates are expected as the situation unfolds.
