The Confederation of African Football (CAF) has officially confirmed the postponement of the AFCON 2025 second-leg match between Nigeria’s Super Eagles and Libya’s Mediterranean Knights due to recent incidents in the North African country.

This announcement was made in a statement released by CAF’s communications department on Tuesday, October 15.

The statement reads: “The TotalEnergies CAF Africa Cup of Nations Morocco 2025 Qualifier fixture between Libya and Nigeria will not take place as scheduled tonight. The matter will be referred to the competent CAF bodies.”

The game was earlier scheduled to take place today, Tuesday, in Libya by 8 pm after the first leg took place in Godswill Akpabio Stadium, Uyo on Friday.

Super Eagles defeated the Mediterranean Knights by a lone goal in the 86th minute.

It’s worth noting that CAF announced on Monday that it has launched an investigation into the incident, following allegations of sabotage made by the Libya Football Federation, which has also threatened legal action against Nigeria.
