The Confederation of African Football (CAF) is set to announce its decision on the botched AFCON qualifying match between Libya and Nigeria.

POLITICS NIGERIA reports that there has been controversy over the Group D match, initially scheduled for Benina Martyrs Stadium on October 15, after the Nigerian team was diverted to Al Abraq International Airport and held for approximately 17 hours.

Libya Al-Ahrar Channel revealed that CAF would on Wednesday announce its decision regarding the players’ ordeal during the first leg in Nigeria, which ended 1-0 in favour of the Super Eagles, and the reverse fixture that would have been held at the 10,550-capacity stadium.

The news platform revealed that the Libyan Football Federation submitted all necessary documents, collected with a specialized lawyer, to CAF.

It can be recalled that CAF delisted the fixture from its calendar after announcing its cancellation hours before kick-off, referring the matter to the Disciplinary Committee.
