AFCON Qualifiers: CAF Rules In Favour Of Nigeria In Nigeria/Libya Case

By Goodluck Ikiebe

The Disciplinary Committee of Confederation of African Football has awarded the Super Eagles of Nigeria three points and three goals in their aborted match day 4 2025 African Cup of Nations qualifier match against Libya.

In its ruling on Saturday, signed by the Chairman, Ousmane Kane, the Disciplinary Board ruled that the Libya Football Federation breached Article 31 of the Africa Cup of Nations Regulations and Articles 82 and 151 of the CAF Disciplinary Code.

The Libya Football Federation was also ordered to pay a fine of USD 50,000 within 60 days.

The outcome of the Disciplinary Committee means that Nigeria is close to qualifying for the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations, with two matches to spare.

With the decision, the Eagles are now on 10 points from four matches, four points better than second-placed Benin Republic, while Rwanda has five points. Bottom-placed Libya have only one point and is out reckoning for qualification.
