The Super Eagles of Nigeria have been left stranded at Abraq International Airport in Libya, ahead of the team’s Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifier against the Mediterranean Knights.
It was gathered that the Super Eagles players and officials were stranded at the airport after arriving in Libya on Sunday evening.
The players and officials had departed Uyo, the Akwa Ibom State capital, on Sunday morning for Libya, ahead of Tuesday’s game against the Mediterranean Knights.

Both nations are set to meet again on matchday four slated for Tuesday.
