Abdelhakim Al-Shalmani, President of the Libyan Football Federation, has resigned from his position. This comes amidst an alleged maltreatment from Libyan Authorities on the Nigerian Super Eagles who were to play a return leg of the 2025 AFCON Qualifiers in Libya.

According to The Libya Observer, Al-Shalmani’s resignation was made public during a regular meeting of the Federation’s General Assembly on Sunday.

“I do not want to be part of the failure in Libyan sports,” Al-Shalmani stated.

He thanked his colleagues and also said that he has forgiven those in the sports sector.

“I thank all members of the General Assembly, and I forgive everyone from all segments of the sports sector,” he added.

Meanwhile, the Confederation OF African Football (CAF) has promised to investigate the incident and take appropriate action.

In a statement, it said, “CAF has been in contact with the Libyan and Nigerian authorities after it had been informed that the Nigerian National Football Team (‘’Super Eagles’’) and their technical team were stranded in disturbing conditions for several hours at an airport that they were allegedly instructed to land by the Libyan authorities.

“The matter has been referred to the CAF Disciplinary Board for investigation and appropriate action will be taken against those who violated the CAF Statutes and Regulations.”
