Abstract

The Nigerian national football team, the Super Eagles, faced mistreatment during a trip to Libya, prompting their withdrawal from a scheduled match. The team was stranded at an airport in Labraq without food, water, or internet access for almost 20 hours. Nigerian President Bola Tinubu expressed concern over the incident, while the Libyan Football Federation denied deliberate wrongdoing and cited challenging circumstances. The Confederation of African Football is investigating the matter and plans to take appropriate action. [Extracted from the article]
