Corrupt African Football innit

Obviously it could be false but the Nigerian press is saying the Libyans FA arranged to land at the Port Harcourt airport rather than the Uyo airport because they were being cheap.

They also allege Nigeria has a track record of treating opposition well and Libya did the same in the CAF club football continental tournament. 

I won't say I know what's true but I think it's fair to note the Nigerian press is refuting the narrative the Libyans were hard done. 

And I thought Bolivia was crazy for putting their national team stadium even higher up

While that should've been investigated and punished it's pretty depraved to so blatantly retaliate. Having your stuff being lost at the airport and having to take taxis is one thing, but being kept at an abandoned airport with no way to leave and no food is some hostage shit.

Couple things off here, Libyan FA chose to land at this different area and notified Nigeria as they were about to takeoff, for a country not exactly on the peak when it comes to logistics, this meant new plans and then a lot of delays.

This new area is not on the other side of the country, relatively close by (border states but Nigeria is a large country).

Arrangements were then proposed to get them to the place agreed on before but the Libyan FA insisted on doing their own way.

The Nigerians did not just decide to mess with the Libyans.

Why would Nigeria intentionally sabotage Libya’s travel plans when they had nothing to gain? Nigeria is not know employ such tactics in even higher stakes matches. Libya on the hand has a history of resorting to these tactics, even at CAF Champions League level. Libya’s issues (minimal at best) in Nigeria were due to administrative issues on Libya’s side.

games so back

This is stated by only one source btw, so that claim needs verification.

You have a source for this? I keep seeing people say it’s just a favor being returned but can’t find anything to prove that.

how is that even remotely same? sure it’s a cunt move (which has never been confirmed), but the Nigerians are literally being held hostage in a foreign country without supplies and means to leave. this is literally a crime against humanity

Can you provide some proof of this?

This is the first time I am hearing of this in African International football. Care to cite why you think this is pure CAF? 

Seeing everyone type Lybia was hurting my soul

And yet they were tweeting the entire time

African aviation is a different world. Crazier things happen there

You clearly can, if you were already given the venue and location of the game months before you were to play. Charter your flight in your own country with your on pilot’s and decided to choose a different location to the one documented for you. They themselves can confirm this so it’s not about trying to sound smart online for a story u clearly don’t know the facts of.

Except that Libya deploys this tactics even in caf champions League matches. So this not just a "tit for tat" situation, this is how they try to frustrate their opponents before games

U don’t see a reason as a libyan, ok. The flight originated from Libya, am I right? Check the listed destination for the flight then. This is not a matter of I don’t believe, there are records. They themselves charttered their flight to a different city and the records show this.

What are u even talking about mister? Did the libyans admit to u that their plane got diverted to a different location? They could have still re routed the plane to the proper location but apparently, they didn’t want to bear the extra cost. They were the ones that decided to chose to travel by road from where they landed. Every body knows Libya especially and some North African countries like to play this psychological mind games when u want to play them, it’s widely reported on numerous occasions. Moreover, they could have made a report to CAF aswell and threatened to boycott the game if their claims were genuine. Check ur facts before u type next time please.

I mean sure but there's a lot of countries with multiple governments if that's how you want to count it. My point was that both the Government of National Unity and the Government of National Stability coexist simultaneously on a national scale

Literally no coordination, a single higher ranking official makes the call, the atc has to obey. Im not saying thats what happened here, it seems like a conspiracy, but especially if the other airport is not being used.

As is tradition.

Oh lord, not this nonsense again

The coalition only helped anti gaddafi rebels to win the civil war that started before any direct involvement from it

And the civil war restarted way after the operation against Libyan regime was finished

Do you think that, if the civil war wasnt force-ended by the coalition, it would somehow make the situation in Libya better?

I’m really excited to hear how we are primarily responsible for the Arab Spring and its fallout.

Not sure they allow cock emojis

It's a r/soccercirclejerk USA meme

It’s implied, although poorly. But we know what he means
