Nigeria vs Libya: CAF shifts date for 2019 AFCON qualifier, names officials

The Confederation of African Football (CAF) has agreed to shift Nigeria’s home game against Libya in the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying series next month.

The Super Eagles were originally billed to host Libya on October 10.

However, the match will now be played on October 12 at the Ahmadu Bello Stadium in Kaduna, CAF announced on its official website.

The return ‎leg tie will be played in Tunisia instead of Algeria on October 15.

Referee Jean Jacques Ndala Ngambo, from DR Congo, will be the man in the middle and he will be assisted by his fellow country men, Olivier Safari Kabene and Nabina Blaise Sebutu.

The Super Eagles are presently one point behind group leaders, Libya who are on the same point with second place South Africa, although they have a better goal difference.
