Players and officials of the Super Eagles are set to depart Libya for Nigeria after their delay at the airport.

Team captain William Troost-Ekong confirmed this on his X handle.

“Power of social media. Apparently our plane is being fueled as we speak and we should be leaving to Nigeria shortly. Thanks for everyone’s support! 🇳🇬”

“I REITERATE: We would NEVER treat a guest nation for a game in this way. Mistakes happen, delays happen. But never on purpose!”
