The statement, tagged “AFCON 2025 QUALIFIERS: Treatment of Super Eagles players in Libya despicable,” highlighted the challenges the team faced upon arriving in Libya for their return leg match.
Dabiri-Erewa emphasised that the safety of the players was paramount, pointing out the dangers of road travel in Libya given the current unstable security situation.
“Traveling by road in Libya is most dangerous and inadvisable due to the war-torn state of the country,” she said.
The Super Eagles, who departed Nigeria on Sunday, had their flight unexpectedly diverted to a remote airport far from the match venue, which led to an additional three-hour road journey to their destination.
