The controversy surrounding the CAF ruling on the Super Eagles’ airport incident in Libya shows no signs of settling.
While some parties seem content with the Confederation of African Football’s (CAF) decision, the Libyan Football Federation (LFF) and its leadership have been vocal in expressing their dissatisfaction, labelling the verdict as “manipulative.”
The Libyan FA has made it clear they intend to appeal the decision and are prepared to pursue any necessary measures to secure a favorable outcome.
However, in a recent development, media outlet BSNNews reported that the federation has officially filed a protest against CAF’s ruling.

This protest challenges the Disciplinary Committee’s decision regarding the second-leg fixture against the Super Eagles.
Al-Suwaie stated that the LFF backed its protest with documents and evidence indicating that the Libyan Federation did not commit any infractions warranting penalties. The report also notes that if the protest is denied, the LFF will escalate the case to the International Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS).
So far, neither CAF nor its disciplinary committee has responded to this latest protest, remaining silent on the matter.
As the upcoming AFCON qualification fixtures approach, it remains to be seen how the situation will unfold. However, it’s clear that the discussions surrounding the airport incident are far from over.
