In a surprise move, the Confederation of African Football (CAF) has announced the postponement of the highly-anticipated Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifier between Libya and Nigeria.
The match, initially scheduled for this evening in Libya, has been put on hold indefinitely. CAF released an official statement confirming the postponement, but failed to provide specific reasons for the decision.

“The TotalEnergies CAF Africa Cup of Nations Morocco 2025 Qualifier fixture between Libya and Nigeria will not take place as scheduled tonight,” the statement reads. “The matter will be referred to the competent CAF bodies.”
The sudden postponement has left fans and stakeholders wondering about the circumstances surrounding the decision. CAF’s reluctance to disclose the reasons has sparked speculation and concern.
The postponement is likely to have significant implications for both teams’ qualification hopes. The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) and Libyan Football Federation will await further instructions from CAF.
CAF’s competent bodies will review the matter and determine the next course of action. The decision is expected to be made in the coming days or weeks.
