The Super Eagles have undertaken a less stressful journey to Libya for Tuesday’s AFCON 2025 Qualifying reverse in Benina.
The Nigerian team which beat their Libyan counterparts 1-0 on Friday, October 11, 2024, flew out of Uyo on Sunday morning with a stopover in Kano.
According to ScoreNigeria the Eagles’ chartered flight will land in Benghazi.
This will be a better arrangement for the traveling Nigerian contingent.
The previous plan of landing in Tripoli and then undertaking a two-hour trip by road to Benghazi would have been a daunting task for the Eagles.
Libya will welcome Nigeria to the 10,000-capacity stadium in Benina, which is 19 kilometres from Benghazi and has an artificial pitch. Tuesdays night’s Kick-off time is 8pm.
