Deji WilliamsSuper Eagles’ Travel Woes: From Benghazi to Al Abraq Airport
In a frustrating turn of events, the Super Eagles players and staff faced significant travel difficulties during their recent trip to Libya. The team flew out on Sunday night, but their journey took an unexpected detour to Al Abraq Airport instead of the intended Benghazi Airport.
This diversion left the team stranded over 200 kilometers away from their original destination, which means a lengthy three-and-a-half-hour drive to reach their accommodations. The Nigerian Football Federation (NFF) reported that the players spent the entire night at Al Abraq Airport, with some players expressing concerns about being left without food and water during this frustrating ordeal.
The Super Eagles were scheduled to face Libya on Tuesday night, but given the circumstances, the team is now making plans to return home rather than play the fixture. This unexpected setback has undoubtedly added stress to the players and coaching staff, as they navigate the challenges of international travel and preparation for a crucial match.
Fans and supporters will be eagerly waiting for updates as the team resolves this situation. Here’s hoping for a quick resolution and a chance for the Super Eagles to get back on track!
