The Confederation of African Football (CAF) has constituted a disciplinary panel led by Senegal’s OUSMANE KANE, to decide on the circumstances that led to the cancellation of the Africa Cup of Nations qualifier between hosts, Libya and Nigeria.

Libya was supposed to host Nigeria in the second leg of the qualifier in Benina, near Benghazi, yesterday, but the game could not be held following Nigeria’s withdrawal citing poor, or non-existent reception by the hosts, which endangered the lives of the players and their officials.

The Nigerian delegation alleged that they were detained in a Libyan airport for close to 16 hours from Sunday to Monday, with nobody from the Libyan government, or its football federation on hand to receive them.

The CAF panel is expected to unravel the circumstances leading to the cancellation of the game, with particular reference to its statutes and regulations, particularly those dealing with match organisation, player welfare, and the principles governing the integrity of the competition.
