Libya’s Football Federation is taking serious action against the Confederation of African Football’s (CAF) recent decision. They’ve hired top lawyer Ali Abbas from Tunisia to appeal the ruling that awarded Nigeria three points and three goals in their disrupted Africa Cup of Nations qualifier. The Libyan Federation is calling the verdict “unfair,” and it’s easy to see why.
The original match was set for October 15 in Benina, Libya, but Nigeria’s team faced a nightmare scenario. Their flight was diverted, and they were stuck at Labraq Airport, 300 kilometers from Benghazi, for 20 hours. To make matters worse, they were subjected to subpar amenities, including a lack of food and water. Understandably, they abandoned the match and headed home.

CAF Update: Nigeria VS Libya
CAF’s disciplinary committee found Libya in breach of several regulations, resulting in the forfeit loss and a $50,000 fine. But Libya is determined to fight this decision, which could significantly boost Nigeria’s chances of qualifying for the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations finals in Morocco.
It’s worth noting that attorney fees can vary greatly, and in cases like this, lawyers may charge hourly rates, flat fees, or contingency fees. In this case, Ali Abbas’s fee structure hasn’t been disclosed. However, with Libya’s determination to overturn the decision, it’ll be interesting to see how this plays out.
