Super Eagles Arrive Nigeria After Libyan Airport Nightmare

Super Eagles have arrived in Nigeria after Libyan airport nightmare.

 

Glamtush reports that the Super Eagles have arrived in Nigeria after their ordeal in Libya for a 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifier.

 

This online news platform recalls that players and officials were stranded for about 13 hours at a Libyan airport ahead of the game, which was supposed to take place on Tuesday. Photos of the team sleeping on benches went viral early Monday, prompting condemnation.

But hours later, the team landed in Kano after Libyan authorities cleared their flight to take off.

The team’s captain William Troost-Ekong wrote on his X handle, “BACK HOME SAFE & SOUND. Proud of this team, NAIJA SPIRIT can’t be broken.

“Throw at us what you want, it’s in our blood to overcome.

“I’ve seen a lot in my 10 years with this group, but nothing like this, an experience that has brought us even closer TOGETHER.”

Bayer Leverkusen’s Victor Boniface said the Super Eagles have returned home.

“Back to Nigeria,” Boniface wrote.
