• The team’s flight, due to land in Benghazi, was diverted mid-air to a remote airport in Al Abaq.
• Bayer Leverkusen striker Victor Boniface has been frustrated by the team’s situation in Libya

Super Eagles striker Victor Boniface has reacted to the inhumane treatment of the national team players at Al Abaq Airport, Al Abaq in Libya ahead of the second leg of the CONQ 2025.

The team’s plane was diverted mid-air to the remote airport, about a three-hour drive to Benghazi, and has been grounded at the airport since last night for more than 10 hours

The Libyans have given no legitimate reason for the team’s ordeal, leaving the players at the airport overnight just hours before the game.
