CAF Imposes Additional Sanctions on Libya Football Federation Following Nigeria Incident
The Confederation of African Football (CAF) has imposed fresh penalties on the Libya Football Federation (LFF), fining them an additional $20,000 and mandating that two of Libya’s upcoming matches be played behind closed doors due to recent violent incidents.
This comes on the heels of a separate controversy during Nigeria’s visit for an AFCON qualifier on October 15. The Nigerian team, scheduled to play Libya in Benghazi, encountered severe delays and lacked food and water for over 20 hours at Al Abaq airport. In response, the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) withdrew the Super Eagles from the match.
CAF initially awarded Nigeria three points and fined Libya $50,000 for failing to meet hospitality requirements, sparking an appeal from Libya to reverse the decision. While the appeal remains pending, CAF’s new sanctions are unrelated but reflect further scrutiny of the LFF’s conduct in recent matches.
Cristiano Ronaldo speaks on his son’s future and football career after watching his training sessions.
He spoke about his 16-year-old son “He’s a good kid. Honest, a good kid. The others are tougher. The ones I have at home, the younger ones. This one is no problem. The others…”
“When I was his age, he was a bit bigger and stronger. I was smaller. I believe he will be bigger than me in size. The hunger is the most challenging aspect.”
Footballers João Pedro and Moisés Caicedo have shared their thoughts on the recent transfer of former Brighton player Danny Welbeck.
It can be noted that Welbeck recently completed a move to Stamford Bridge. Pedro shared “This will mark the third occasion we have played together, and I believe, just as he did for me previously, he will extend his support to everyone in the squad. Danny embodies that spirit; he is incredibly helpful and genuinely wishes the best for everyone around him and for the team.
“It is well-known that he is an exceptional player. I am eager to play alongside him once more, and I believe he will be a tremendous asset to our group.”
Real Madrid player Vinícius Júnior has spoken about his contract and how things have been since discussions began.
He said “It’s gone very well, meeting the new coach and the new players and training very hard. Mourinho wants me to be as I’ve always been: happy, cheerful, and that I play my football.”
“We have to prepare physically so that during the season we have fewer injuries and we can count on everybody. Monday was a double session, Tuesday is one session. So let’s go. Today we did a bit of work in the gym and a short session to load our legs some more.”
