The Super Eagles of Nigeria who are in Libya for a return leg in the 2025 African Cup of Nations qualifiers have been left stranded at an airport in the North African Country.
The Nigerian senior male football team who beat Libya 1-0 on Saturday in Uyo i the first leg of the encounter, had departed Nigeria on Sunday afternoon.
For inexplicable reasons, the aircraft in which the Super Eagles were flying , was diverted from landing at Benghazi which was their destination to Al Albraq. This happened one hour to their landing at Benghazi. But Benghazi is more than two hours away from Al Abraq by road.
It was also gathered that the Libyan authorities failed to provide transportation for the Super Eagles to get to their destination.
The airport gate was also said to be locked against the Nigerian players.
As of the time of filing this report, the Nigerian players and the team officials were said to have been stranded for four hours.
