Osimhen and Nwabali Slam Super Eagles’ Treatment at Libyan Airport
Nigerian football stars Victor Osimhen and Stanley Nwabali expressed their disappointment over the treatment of the Super Eagles at Al Abraq International Airport in Libya. Osimhen criticized the situation as “inhumane” and highlighted the unfair treatment his team received.
He called on the Confederation of African Football (CAF) to take action since his teammates and officials remained stranded at the airport.
Nwabali revealed that the Super Eagles had been stuck for over 14 hours without food, water, or internet access, calling the experience “absolutely crazy.” Victor Boniface also voiced his frustrations, stating they lacked essentials during their long wait. The Nigerian delegation was on its way to Benghazi for an important qualifier when their flight diverted to the small airport, typically used for Hajj operations. The Libyan Football Federation did not provide assistance, and CAF has yet to respond to the issue.
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.”
