FIFA Discuess The AFCON Qualifier Between Nigeria’s Super Eagles And Libya
FIFA Council member, Amaju Pinnick reveals the CAF verdict on the 2025 Africa cup of nations qualifier between the Nigerians super eagles and Libya will be announced “today or tomorrow’. The Super Eagles players and officials were held at the Al Abaq airport on their arrival for matchday four of the 2025 AFCON qualifiers. The team later returned to Nigeria after the delay.
The FIFA council, Pinnick, stated that the situation is being discussed among the council. He states that “CAF is taking this issue very seriously,” during an interview with Arise Television today. CAF President, Patrice Motsepe, personifies integrity and Pan-Africanism.
“We deliberated on it in our executive committee meeting. It was a subject of intense discussion. We pointed out the fact that this is very serious because anything could have happened (to the Super Eagles). So, CAF are taking the matter seriously and we’re not leaving any stone unturned.”
Ghanaian Referee, Daniel Laryea, who officiated the Nigeria vs Morocco game in AFCON gets interviews and shared his experience.
The referee reveals how it was his first time in a semi final and was kind of nervous. “I’ve been to three AFCON tournaments, but this is the first time I’ve been in a semi-final.”
“So when coaches choose you for that game, they know your skills and what you can do. But of course, you feel a little nervous because of the level of the match.”
Nigerian Footballer, Bright Osayi-Samuel , react to match as Super Eagles lose to Morocco.
The player calls out CAF for their referee appointment. He shares how the Ghanaian Referee was tough on the field and made bad choices.
“One thing I would say is that the referee was really bad. I’m not saying that was the reason we lost. He is making really bad choices and it’s really tough to watch because we have referees like this in big games like today.
He then praises Morocco for a good game “But Morocco did really well.”
Super Eagles Coach, Eric Chelle speaks and shared why Nigeria lost the AFCON match to Morocco.
It can be noted that the match was held on the 14th of January, 2026. Nigeria lost the match with a draft in the penalties, 4-2.
During a recent interview, Chelle shared his observations about the match and shared why they lost.
“From a technical point of view, the Super Eagles weren’t at the same level as we displayed in our other matches.”
“I don’t want to say the reason was fatigue, but the truth is that we lacked movement and power.”
