Former Super Eagles star Mobi Oparaku has expressed confidence that Nigeria will get a fair outcome following their cancelled AFCON 2025 qualifier against Libya.
The Group D second leg clash between the Super Eagles and Libya was called off by CAF following the ordeal faced by the former.
After having their flight diverted to a remote airport, players and officials of the Super Eagles were detained for over 10 hours by the Libyan authorities.
Following the maltreatment, the Super Eagles players resolved not to go ahead with the game while CAF eventually called the game off and took the matter to its disciplinary body.
While the verdict of the disciplinary body is still being expected, Oparaku is confident that Nigeria will not be sanctioned because the country has always been a good host to visiting teams.

“CAF knows we are not what is reported by the Libyans, we are not biased, we never maltreat our visitors, CAF knows we can’t do such,” the Atlanta 1996 Olympic gold medalist told Brila FM.
“I am confident no sanction will fall on Nigeria, I believe we will get a fair outcome.”
Despite not playing their matchday 4 fixture, the Super Eagles, on seven points, still top Group D while Libyan are bottom with just one point.
