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.

“We are waiting for you at Galatasaray. Come and be a part of this family.”
