The Mediterranean Knights of Libya have arrived in Nigeria ahead of Friday’s AFCON 2025 qualifier against Nigeria’s Super Eagles in Uyo.
In a video posted on X, the Libyan players were pictured on arrival at the Murtala International Airport in Lagos.
From the Lagos airport, they will connect a flight to Uyo, the venue for the matchday 3 tie.
Meanwhile, it is already a full house in the Super Eagles camp as all the invited players have arrived.
Sevilla stars Kelechi Iheanacho and Chidera Ejuke were the last arrivals to camp.
On Tuesday, 20 players took part in the team’s first session in preparation for the qualifiers.
This is the second time Libya will come up against the Super Eagles in the AFCON qualifiers.
Both teams were housed in the same group during the qualifiers for the 2019 AFCON held in Egypt.
In the first leg in Uyo, the Eagles won 4-0 and won the return leg 3-2.
Libya’s only win against the Eagles was in the 2004 LG invitational tournament, recording a 2-1 win.
