The Confederation of African Football (CAF) has fined the Libyan Football Federation (LFF) $50,000 following misconduct by Libyan supporters and officials during the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifiers.

The incident occurred during Libya’s final qualifier against Benin in Benghazi, which ended in a goalless draw, securing Benin’s qualification.

Enraged Libyan fans reportedly threw stones and bottles at the visiting team, prompting Benin head coach Gernot Rohr to lament the physical assaults endured by his players and officials from both fans and police after the match.

In a statement, CAF’s Disciplinary Board found the Libyan Football Federation guilty of violating Articles 82 and 151 of the CAF Disciplinary Code. Consequently, Libya has been ordered to play its next two official national team matches behind closed doors and pay a fine of $50,000.

This penalty follows an earlier sanction imposed on the LFF, which was fined $50,000 for issues during a game against Nigeria’s Super Eagles.

In that instance, the Nigerian team was stranded at Al-Abraq International Airport for over 20 hours, leading to the game’s abandonment.

CAF continues to emphasize the need for discipline and proper conduct to ensure the safety of teams and officials in African football.

It has been shared that the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) is calling on the federal government to suspend the tax law set to take effect on January 1, 2026.

This was revealed in a statement released by Ini Ememobong, National Publicity Secretary of the PDP. He stated that this new law shows how Nigerians and the masses will be affected, arguing that the government is prioritizing finance over security and other pressing matters.
