The LFF is also challenging the board’s decision to award three points and three goals to Nigeria’s Super Eagles.

According to Libyan media outlet alwasat.ly, the LFF has enlisted Tunisian lawyer Ali Abbas to defend its appeal, which challenges CAF’s decision as “unfair,”

On Saturday, the Disciplinary Board, in a notification letter to the LFF, awarded the botched Libya versus Super Eagles AFCON 2025 qualifier, billed for October 15, in Benghazi to the Super Eagles.

The board fined the LFF $50, 000 for breaching “the Article 31 of the African Cup of Nations Regulations, as well as Articles 82 and 151 of the CAF Disciplinary Code.”
