Super Eagles Back in Nigeria after 13-Hour Ordeal in Libya

T The Super Eagles have finally arrived back in Nigeria after enduring a grueling ordeal in Libya while preparing for their 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifier.

The national team, comprising players and officials, was stranded for approximately 13 hours at a Libyan airport ahead of their scheduled game, which was set to take place on Tuesday.

The distressing situation gained widespread attention as photos of the team sleeping on benches circulated on social media early Monday, prompting swift condemnation from Nigerian authorities. The images highlighted the uncomfortable conditions faced by the players, who were left without adequate food, water, or rest during their prolonged wait.

However, in a turn of fortune, the Super Eagles have now landed safely in Kano after their flight was finally cleared for takeoff.

The successful return marks a significant relief for fans and officials alike, who had expressed concerns over the players’ welfare during their unexpected delay.
