BREAKING: Super Eagles set to depart Libya after 14-hour delay at airport

The players and officials of the Super Eagles are preparing to leave Libya following a challenging ordeal that involved a delay of over 14 hours and reports of mistreatment by the host country.

This information was shared by sports enthusiast Pooja Media on Monday through their X handle.

The Super Eagles encountered significant travel complications after their flight was diverted, and they were faced with a series of logistical issues that hampered their preparations for the AFCON 2025 Qualifier match.

Allegations of poor treatment from Libyan authorities have further fueled frustrations within the team.

He wrote, “Super Eagles players and all officials are boarding to fly out of Libya to Nigeria. Thank God.”

Confirming this, a player, Bruno Onyemaechi, wrote, “Me and Libya, I don wash my hands commot. Nothing concerns me and una again. Thank God I’m going back.”

Prior to this, Libyan authorities were alleged to have refused to provide the Super Eagles’ chartered flight, ValueJet, with permission and aviation fuel to fly the players back to Nigeria.
