The Confederation of African Football (CAF) has imposed sanctions against Libya over the botched 2025 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier.

The continental football body declared that the Mediterranean Knights forfeited the match, losing it by 3-0.

The Libya Football Federation was also ordered to pay a $50,000 fine, as Nigeria edge closer to the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations in Morocco.

Ghanaians have continued to react to CAF's decision, with many branding the verdict as 'injustice'.

Sammy Kwaku replied to a post on Facebook:

"This is justice for Nigeria. Africa football must wake up from these tricks and gimmicks employed by some countries to frustrate other."

Uchi Aor added:

"Nigeria is bigger than just giving them 3-points, CAF should have rescheduled the match on neutral ground..... for the Super Eagles to use goals on the field of play to revenge and teach Libya a lesson."

Onyameba Ezekiel posited:

"What do you expect ,definitely CAF will rule in favor of Nigeria. The story would be different if Nigeria were in the position of Libya."

Siaf Ali Ali

"You lose a football match, but you do not lose your honor in life. "Redress the injustice and treat in kind any being who dares to belittle the country that was and still is feeding all of Africa. Libya is above all."
