Galatasaray forward, Victor Osimhen reacts to the ongoing situations surrounding the Libya vs Nigeria AFCON 2025 qualifiers.
Victor Osimhen has criticized the way Libyan authorities treated the Super Eagles players and officials ahead of the AFCON 2025 qualifiers, Libya vs Nigeria.
The Super Eagles are currently in Libya for their 2025 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying matchday four clash against the Mediterranean Knights.
The team and their officials remained stranded at Al Abaq Airport, several hours after arriving in Libya, following the diversion of their flight to Al Abaq by Libyan authorities on Sunday night.
Additionally, the Nigerian contingent has been refused hotel accommodation by their hosts, leading the players to consider boycotting the match.
His post on social media, “I am disappointed by the unfair treatment my brothers and coaches are facing at the Libya airport last night. Actions like this go against the spirit of sportsmanship. My support is with my team and I know they’ll stay strong despite these obstacles. I call on CAF and other football bodies to intervene, as my teammates and officials are still stranded at the airport in Libya. This is uncalled for and inhumane. We stand together, together than ever.”
