The Libyan Football Federation (LFF) is reportedly in panic mode after being asked by the Confederation of African Football (CAF) to submit crucial documents regarding the cancellation of the AFCON 2024 qualifying Group D match against Nigeria.
The match, which was expected to take place as part of the qualification process for the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON), faced abrupt cancellation, leading to widespread speculation and controversy. CAF has now requested the LFF to provide comprehensive reports and explanations surrounding the reasons for the cancellation, raising concerns about the potential consequences the Libyan Federation might face if proper documentation is not presented.
This development comes at a critical time, with the AFCON tournament fast approaching, and the pressure mounting on both Libya and Nigeria to fulfill their qualifying obligations. Any further delays or administrative missteps could significantly impact the standings in Group D and the teams’ chances of securing a spot in the prestigious continental competition.
As the situation unfolds, both the Libyan and Nigerian football communities await clarity on how the issue will be resolved and what actions CAF may take based on the submission of the requested documents.
