One step closer to 2025 AFCON’ – Troost-Ekong reacts to CAF’s decision to award Super Eagles three points against Libya

Super Eagles captain William Troost-Ekong has praised CAF’s decision to award Nigeria three points in their 2025 AFCON qualifier against Libya.

On October 26, CAF announced the ruling, finding Libya guilty of mistreating the Nigerian team, who were left stranded at a Libyan airport without food or internet for hours. Troost-Ekong, a CAF Player of the Year nominee, celebrated the decision on X, saying it brings Nigeria closer to AFCON 2025.

JUSTICE: CAF awards three points and three goals to Nigeria. Libya fined $50,000. One step closer to our AFCON 2025 target.
