The Confederation of African Football is keeping everyone waiting after failing to make its decision on Wednesday on the bungled AFCON qualification Group A match set for October 15 at Benina Martyrs Stadium.
It appears that the football authority has yet to make a decision, as BeIN Sports reports that the Disciplinary Committee heard explanations from both parties via video conference on Wednesday, with Libya and Nigeria fully represented.
CAF had previously decided to cancel the Libya-Nigeria match after the Nigerian national team left Libya in protest at the diversion of its flight to Labraq Airport, where they were locked in for 18 hours with neither food nor water.
Nigeria had called on CAF to intervene to rescue them from detention inside Labraq Airport, according to the Nigerian side’s allegations.
CAF President, Patrice Motsepe, said that the incident was under investigation as the rules for receiving visiting teams are being reviewed, stressing that CAF will take strict decisions in this crisis and will not tolerate any deviation.
