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.

Nigerian businessman Isaac Fayose has spoken about what he considers one of the country’s biggest problems, stating that many Nigerians are worried about government taxation, insecurity, and the increasing rate of kidnappings for ransom.

He lamented the situation and criticized the government, arguing that these issues have become deeply rooted and that there appears to be no lasting solution in sight.

According to him “In Nigeria we have two governments. One is collecting tax, the other one is collecting ransom. Both of them have one thing in common which is to make life difficult for their people.

The one that is collecting tax without doing anything will come and share you rice and semolina. The one that is collecting ransom is doing giveaway on social media.”
