Libya Full Team Arrives In Kigali Three Days Before 2025 AFCON Qualifier Vs Rwanda

By Admin

The Libyan national team are not leaving anything to chance ahead of their 2025 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers match day five encounter against Rwanda.

Libya were hit with heavy sanctions by the Confederation of African Football (CAF) after the Super Eagles of Nigeria were held hostage at Al Abraq International Airport.

CAF awarded Nigeria three points and three goals after Libya were found guilty of breaching rules, and the football federation was also fined USD 50,000.

The team are bottom of Group D with one point from four games and have a slim chance of qualifying for the tournament in Morocco next year.

According to Libya Al Ahrar TV, the 25-man squad led by head coach Nasser Al-Hadhiri flew to Kigali on Monday, three days before the match at the Amahoro Stadium in Kigali.

Al-Hadhiri also made changes to the initial squad, which was announced two weeks ago, adding Al Olympi defender Moatasem Sabou and Al-Tahadi striker Farhad Al-Masmari for depth.

The team were initially scheduled to begin training in Benghazi two weeks before the match. The camp was postponed because of the Omar Al-Mukhtar Friendly Championship, which was won by Al Hilal, as noted by Al-Awwan.
