Abdelhakim Al-Shalmani, the president of the Libyan Football Federation, has quit his position, citing that he doesn’t want to be part of the failure of Libyan sports, Okay.ng reports.

This decision comes amid growing tensions surrounding the treatment of the Nigerian national team ahead of a crucial Africa Cup of Nations qualifier.

Al-Shalmani’s resignation was announced during a regular meeting of the Federation’s General Assembly, where he reflected on the challenges faced during his tenure. He expressed gratitude to his colleagues and forgave everyone from all segments of the sports sector. Despite the circumstances, Al-Shalmani stood firm on his record of service, highlighting his history in the International, Arab, and African Federation.

The Super Eagles of Nigeria, scheduled to play against Libya, faced inhumane treatment upon arrival, being held at an abandoned airport for over 15 hours. This led to the team resolving not to play the match, citing safety concerns. However, the Libyan Football Federation clarified that the delay was due to routine air traffic and logistical challenges, not deliberate foul play.

The Super Eagles players and officials have departed from Libya, with player Bruno Onyemaechi expressing relief, saying “Thank God I’m going back.”
