The Pillar of Sports in Africa Senator Orji Uzor Kalu has condemned the ill treatment meted out to the Super Eagles in Libya.
Super Eagles coach and technical crew were left stranded without food, WiFi, hotel accommodations and other logistics for over 15 hours when they arrived Libya Airport for the second leg of the qualification of CAF AFCON 2025.
This strategy was to further frustrate the Super Eagles and dissipate their energy and enthusiasm ahead of the match.
Kalu stated that CAF must sanction Libya for treating the Super Eagles with such disdain and disregard.
“CAF must make that decision as quickly as possible to serve as a deterrent to any African country that behaves in such an irresponsible manner,” he noted.

“These things must be put to a halt forthwith. This dishonorable display of lack of class and character must stop henceforth. I condemn this horrible disregard for fellow humans. It is utter shame that the Libya Football Federation could display such a cunning strategy. These were the things they cunningly did to Enyimba Football Club of Aba, and I fought against it. CAF must award the three (3) points to the Super Eagles of Nigeria immediately.” Kalu asserted.
The former Abia Governor won CAF Champions League Cup consecutively in 2003 and 2004 seasons, remaining the only Governor till date to have achieved that as a Club, State and in Nigeria.
