After the frustrating and dehumanizing experience in Libya, the Super Eagles have arrived in Nigeria.
The team landed in Nigeria after Libyan authorities cleared their flight to take off.
The Team’s Captain, Troost Ekong in his X, praised the resilience of his teammates after their ordeal in Libya where they had landed for a 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifier.
Troost wrote “BACK HOME SAFE & SOUND. Proud of this team, NAIJA SPIRIT can’t be broken.
Throw at us what you want, it’s in our blood to overcome.
“I’ve seen a lot in my 10 years with this group, but nothing like this, an experience that has brought us even closer TOGETHER.”
Players and officials of the Super Eagles were stranded for about 13 hours at a Libyan airport ahead of the game which was supposed to take place on Tuesday.
By this Monday morning, Photos of the team sleeping on benches went viral, prompting condemnation.
