The Mediterranean Knights of Libya have arrived Nigeria ahead of Friday’s AFCON 2025 qualifier against Nigeria’s Super Eagles in Uyo Township stadium.

In a post 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, where the match will be played.

Meanwhile, all the invited players of the Super Eagles have arrived except Victor Osimhen who is injured.

This is the second time Libya will come up against the Super Eagles in the AFCON qualifiers.

Both teams were 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.
