No food, nowhere to sleep, Boniface laments airport ordeal in Libya

Nigerian forward Victor Boniface has spoken out about the Super Eagles’ ordeal after being stranded for 12 hours at Al Abraq International Airport in Libya.

The Nigerian team, in the country for a crucial AFCON 2025 qualifier, faced unexpected delays after landing on Sunday.

Expressing his frustration on X on Monday, Boniface wrote, “Been at the airport for almost 13 hours, no food, no Wi-Fi, nowhere to sleep. Africa, we can do better.”

The Super Eagles landed in Libya for their qualifier against the host nation, but their chartered ValueJet flight was diverted at the last minute from Benghazi Airport to the smaller Al Abraq International Airport, which is typically reserved for Hajj operations.
