CAF published an updated fixture list on its official handle on Tuesday, omitting the Libya vs. Nigeria game. The match was initially scheduled for Tuesday at 8 pm in Libya, following the first leg held at Godswill Akpabio Stadium in Uyo on Friday.

The Super Eagles secured a 1-0 victory with a late goal. However, controversy surrounded the return leg after Nigerian players and officials reported a harrowing 14-hour ordeal at the Libyan airport, prompting their return home.
