Troost-Ekong rejoices as CAF rules in favour of Nigeria
Super Eagles captain William Troost-Ekong has celebrated the ruling of the disciplinary board of the Confederation of African Football on the Africa Cup of Nations Morocco 2025 Qualifier between Libya and Nigeria.
Ekong, who had earlier detailed the incident on social media lamenting how the airport gates had been locked, leaving players and officials with no food, drink, or phone connection, rejoiced over what he deemed a ‘just’ ruling.
The Nation reports that the Disciplinary Board of Confederation of African Football (CAF) awarded Nigeria, three points and three goals from the botched Matchday 4 encounter of the 2025 AFCON qualification series scheduled to be played by Libya and Nigeria in Benina on 15th October.
The Eagles skipper wrote: “JUSTICE: CAF awards three points and three goals to Nigeria. Libya fined $50,000.
“The plane was diverted 300km from the scheduled airport even when the pilot told them he was low on fuel.
“One step closer to our target AFCON 2025.”
