The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) has applauded the decision of the CAF Disciplinary Board on the botched 2025 AFCON qualifier match between the Super Eagles and the national team of Libya.

The botched 2025 AFCON
qualification match was scheduled to be played by Libya and Nigeria in on 15th October but could not hold due to a airport delay incident and maltreatment of the Super Eagles by Libyan authorities.
 
In a decision made on Saturday, October 26, 2024, the Disciplinary Board of Confederation of African Football (CAF) awarded Nigeria, three points and three goals from the botched Match.

Reacting, the NFF Communication Department said : “The implication is that Nigeria is now poised to qualify 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 have five points. Bottom-placed Libya have only one point and are out of the running for qualification.”

In its ruling on Saturday, signed by the chairman, Ousmane Kane, the Disciplinary Board ruled :
“The Libya Football Federation is found to have breached Article 31 of the Africa Cup of Nations Regulations as well as Articles 82 and 151 of the CAF Disciplinary Code.
